Abstract
The article is devoted to issues related to the scientific support of the implementation of the new Energy strategy of railway transport.
In terms of increasing energy saving and energy efficiency, issues related to the transportation process and traction rolling stock are being considered: the development of methods to reduce energy consumption in the wheel–rail system, the efficient operation of a continuous welded track and the improvement of lubrication technologies.
In the application of low-carbon energy sources, the effectiveness of measures such as electrification of high-load railway sections, the use of natural gas as a motor fuel, the possibility of using hydrogen and energy storage is being evaluated. In the stationary energy sector, it is proposed to consider the possibility of its own electric generation based on renewable energy sources using them in heat and water supply systems (solar collectors, heat pumps, biofuels) and upgrading boilers with their conversion to low-carbon natural and liquefied petroleum gases.
In the field of improving the accounting system for fuel and energy resources, the possibility of increasing the number and information content of energy efficiency, energy conservation and carbon intensity indicators in relation to wastewater, heat and water supply systems is being analyzed. The possibility of using low-carbon sources in the form of renewable energy sources is also noted.
