New Delhi, India – Rail is among the most energy efficient modes of transport for freight and passengers, yet is often neglected in public debate, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency prepared in cooperation with the International Union of Railways (UIC).

The Future of Rail is the latest in the IEA series shining a light on “blind spots” in the energy system, which are issues that deserve more attention from policymakers. It was released today in New Delhi by IEA Executive Director, Dr Fatih Birol, at an event opened by India’s Minister of Railways, Shri Piyush Goyal.

We also had a talk about The Industrial Revolution too - The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in Great Britain, continental Europe, and the United States, in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840.If the steam engine is the icon of the industrial revolution, it’s most famous incarnation is the steam driven locomotive. The union of steam and iron rails produced the railways, a new form of transport which boomed in the later nineteenth century, affecting industry and social life.

Hydrogen-powered trains are said to be the greenest trains out there. “Mini power stations on wheels”, is how a University of Birmingham researcher describes them, as they give off zero emissions and their only by-product is water. But here in India out of 13 lakh Tw only 5 Gw is for Sustainable energy. Two hydrogen trains are already in service in Germany but that design is not compatible with the UK's rail network. Before the train were invented there used to be wooden planks instead of track which was attached to a wagon which was used to be pulled by humans or horses. Then Huntingdon Beaumont invented the "Wagonway". In the wagonway the wooden planks were replaced by metal tracks. Then later after a lot of progress they made the trains we know today.

A hydrogen fuel cell, the ideal alternative energy source for rail, is the key to the world’s first “hydrail”. It can travel almost 500 miles per day at speeds of up to 87 mph. It emits steam and water and operates with the lowest noise levels. Developed by Alstom, it consists of a combination of different elements: a clean energy conversion, a flexible energy storage capacity, and smart energy management for the traction power and remaining energy. Although the concept of using hydrogen as a renewable energy source isn’t new, it is the first time that an entire rail network will powered by it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
WAYS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

1. Energy density of the fuel source(e.g. Hydrogen - higher energy density)
2. Aerodynamics(e.g. Shinkansen, previous versions to current latest version)
3. Weight( Locomotive should be lightweight and durable)
4. Friction between the wheels and the tracks(e.g. Maglev, eliminating friction altogether by "magnetically levitating" on the tracks/guide rails)

# data[].attributes.body
Hydrogen fuel can be produced through several methods. The most commonly used methods today are natural gas reforming (a thermal process), and electrolysis of water, which sees electricity running through water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The electricity used can be generated by wind, solar and hydro sources.

Ban of single-use plastic decision has been taken by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech where he urged and explained the need to eliminate single use of plastic in India from 2nd October.

No doubt this step of Indian Railways is bio eco-friendly which will minimise the generation of plastic waste. In a press release Railways Ministry directed all the Railway units across the country to ban single-use plastic material with less than 50 micron thickness and it will be effect from 2nd October, 2019.
Instructions issued by the Railway Ministry for the same are mentioned below:
- Single use plastic material is ban by Indian Railways.

- Vendors of Indian Railways have been directed to avoid the use of plastic carry bags.

- Even the employees of Indian Railways are also directed to reduce, reuse and refuse plastic products.

- To reduce plastic footprint vendors have been asked to use inexpensive reusable bags.
What are Broad Gauge, Metre Gauge and Narrow Gauge in Indian Railway?
- IRCTC would implement the practice of return of plastic drinking water bottles as part of Extended Producer Responsibility.

- At Indian Railway Stations and Premises, plastic crushing bottles will be provided.

- According to the Railway Board, in the first phase 1,853 plastic water bottle crushing machines will be installed at 360 major stations.
Harmful effects of Plastic
- Plastics are non-biodegradable that is they last forever. In fact, it is said that 33 percent of all plastic like water bottles, bags and straws are used just once and thrown away.

- Plastics affect the health of human beings. The toxic chemicals present in the plastic affects our health. They expose in our blood and tissues and causes cancers, birth defects, impaired immunity, endocrine disruption etc.

- Do you know that plastics spoil the groundwater? In United States thousands of landfills are buried inside the earth and the toxic chemicals from plastics drain out and seep into the groundwater, in lakes and rivers.

- Chemicals in the plastics give them rigidity or flexibility and on the other hand we can say that these chemicals are oily poisons that repel water and stick to petroleum based objects like plastic debris. Therefore, toxic chemicals that come out from plastics accumulate on other plastics. So we can say that plastic attracts other pollutants.

- Plastic nowadays also affecting and threatening wildlife. Animals eat plastic as a food and feed it to the young ones as plastic found littered in extremely remote areas of the Earth.

- Plastic affects our food chain. Planktons, tiniest creatures in the oceans eat microplastics and absorb hazardous chemicals. And larger animals eat smaller ones and indirectly consuming plastic. In this way plastic poisons the food chain.

No doubt, everything whether tourism, recreation, business, the health of humans, animals etc. all suffer due to plastic pollution. Plastic in humans are causing serious illness which at a time is not curable. Therefore, from 2nd October, Indian Railways is taking a good step but it will be successful when we will support them not only in Railways but also in our daily life. We should reduce, reuse and refuse plastic products.

In Korea, Busan city is leading the implementation of electric buses. Electric bus 'ELEC CITY', which roams the Busan city, is an electric bus which Hyundai Motors worked on for about 8 years since 2010. In 2017, their first car began servicing passengers. ELEC CITY utilizes 256 kWh high capacity lithium ion polymer battery which allows it to drive up to 319 km with a one-time charging (72 minutes) and can drive 170 km with a 30-minute short charging.

ELEC CITY is now only great in its driving distance but also for its passenger safety and convenience specifications. As it is designed to be a low floor bus, the body level is high, and its interior seems wider while front and back entrances have inclined plates instead of stairs to make it easy for wheelchairs and strollers to get in and out. Comfortable hip rest and interior freight storage is installed inside to enhance convenience, and the front and back entrances have ultrasonic sensors for safe getting on and off.
