BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Request for Information (RFI) 

on Progression to Net-Zero Emission 

Propulsion Technologies for the Rail 

Sector 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for information. 

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. 

DATES: 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? 

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

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.
