The French Railway Industry Association (FIF) and the national railway company SNCF have published a White Paper outlining the ambitions of the French railway industry for decarbonization.

In addition to promoting the shift to rail as a means of reducing overall emissions, the White Paper also lists issues such as increasing the capacity of the country’s railway network, improving the energy efficiency of rolling stock, and enhancing building sustainability.

Within the document, the organizations have stated that the industry will undertake two significant commitments, including the creation of a decarbonization roadmap that will define the industry’s trajectory and its goals concerning greenhouse gas emissions, in line with a previous commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Furthermore, the White Paper outlines a plan to establish a central body for monitoring progress in the industry through the creation of a steering committee dedicated to decarbonization, jointly organized by FIF and SNCF along with major industry manufacturers and operators.
