AERRL: a study on alternatives to fossil fuels in railway
AERRL has launched this study authored by eolos GmbH to identify and promote technologies to cut the climate impact of the existing diesel-powered rail fleets in the near
future.

Product Environmental Declarations
Over a 4-month sprint, we achieved AGEC Law compliance for Ariston through systematic regulatory analysis, collaboration with electrical system experts, and identification of knowledge gaps. We consolidated relevant information for compliant disclosure.
Obsolecence Management
Over six months, we tackled our client’s locomotive reliability concerns by performing YTEOL analysis on three crucial systems. We offered customized recommendations that balanced economic advantages with essential technical and safety constraints.
Carbon Emissions & the Industry
To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, industries must understand and reduce their carbon footprint. The focus has shifted from emissions per product to absolute emissions reduction. Governments and businesses must collaborate, leveraging disruptive innovation, circular economy principles, and resource value retention frameworks to achieve balance between resource use and future planetary protection.
Decarbonising Energy: Repurposing and Recycling End-of-Life Batteries
Batteries can contribute to sustainable development and climate change mitigation. But they require major changes in the value chain, from materials sourcing to end-of-life management. Europe aims to build a sustainable internal battery value chain, creating business opportunities and addressing environmental concerns through circular approaches, recycling, and repurposing.
Towards a Sustainable European Battery Value Chain
European clean energy transition regulations foster a competitive and sustainable battery industry. The EU’s new Batteries Regulation aims to modernize battery life-extension, waste collection, and material recovery while reducing hazardous substances. Europe’s electric vehicle market is growing, with legislative frameworks and the European Battery Alliance driving a sustainable value chain, focusing on raw materials, recycling, and workforce development.
