DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Request for Information (RFI)
on Progression to Net-Zero Emission
Propulsion Technologies for the Rail
Sector
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Request for information.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) invites public comment
on its Request for Information (RFI)
number DE–FOA–0003186 regarding the
state of technology on the progression to
net-zero emission propulsion
technologies for the rail industry. The
purpose of this RFI is to aggregate
knowledge from rail stakeholders to
help direct actions regarding future
propulsion technologies, infrastructure
requirements, and coordination among
key stakeholders to ensure that the rail
sector is meeting or exceeding U.S.
decarbonization milestones. DOE’s
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE) is specifically
interested in information on the rail
industry’s current alternative fuels
trajectory, the driving forces behind it,
and the key barriers to achieving this
transition.
Responses to the RFI must be
received by January 12th, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to
submit comments electronically to
GreenRail@ee.doe.gov. Include ‘‘State of
the Rail Industry’’ in the subject line of
the email. Only electronic responses
will be accepted. The complete RFI
document is located at https://eereexchange.energy.gov/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions may be addressed to Ben
Simon at GreenRail@ee.doe.gov or 240–
562–1591. Further instruction can be
found in the RFI document posted on
EERE Exchange.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
National Blueprint for Transportation
Decarbonization set the goal to achieve
net-zero carbon emissions in the
transportation sector—including rail—
by 2050. This transformation to net-zero
emission technologies requires
coordination among all aspects of the
rail supply chain, including feedstock
supply, alternative fuel production,
locomotive engine manufacturers, safety
implementation, customer demand, and
government regulation. To develop a
national strategy to decarbonize the rail
sector, two critical questions must be
addressed:
1—Which alternative rail propulsion
technologies are most promising?
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2—What is the timeline for the rail
sector to transition to net-zero emission
technologies?
The purpose of this RFI is to
understand what is driving the rail
sector towards adopting alternative
propulsion technologies, which
technologies seem most promising, and
what are the key barriers to achieving
the transition to net-zero emissions by
2050.
The RFI is available at: https://eereexchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx#
FoaIdf0ca0a9f-6e0e-4175-b20a1bdbb682d705.
Confidential Business Information:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person
submitting information that he or she
believes to be confidential and exempt
by law from public disclosure should
submit via email two well-marked
copies: one copy of the document
marked ‘‘confidential’’ including all the
information believed to be confidential,
and one copy of the document marked
‘‘non-confidential’’ with the information
believed to be confidential deleted.
Submit these documents via email. DOE
will make its own determination about
the confidential status of the
information and treat it according to its
determination.
Signing Authority: This document of
the Department of Energy was signed on
November 20th, by Jeffrey Marootian,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy, pursuant to delegated authority
from the Secretary of Energy. That
document with the original signature
and date is maintained by DOE. For
administrative purposes only, and in
compliance with requirements of the
Office of the Federal Register, the
undersigned DOE Federal Register
Liaison Officer has been authorized to
sign and submit the document in
electronic format for publication, as an
official document of the Department of
Energy. This administrative process in
no way alters the legal effect of this
document upon publication in the
Federal Register.
Signed in Washington, DC, on November
21, 2023.
