Many thanks to the colleagues of CEN-CENELEC for having hosted the workshop on “STANDARDIZATION'S ROLE IN EU NON-ELECTRIFIED NETWORK TRANSFORMATION”. I was pleased to participate to the debate on behalf of EIM with the colleagues of the rail sector and EU Agency for Railways (ERA). AFIR Regulation gives the opportunity to governments and rail stakeholders to better frame the possible development of the alternative use of batteries and hydrogen technologies when electrification of rail lines is not economically viable. Standardisation in the railway use of battery and hydrogene is well ongoing. ENs will be needed to support a clear regulatory framework and contribute to cost-effective integration of interfaces within the rail eco-system (see e.g. charging stations), but also with other critical infrastructure network (see e.g. energy grids). #CEN-CENELEC #EIM #EIMrail #ERA
Well done Bardo!!
