Adhraa Almansoori, Director of Public Policy and Sustainability at Etihad Rail, affirmed that the project to supply the Al Ghuwaifat freight terminal with renewable solar energy will be completed by the end of 2025.
This will make it the first solar-powered project within the Etihad Rail network, with plans to extend clean energy supply to the remaining stations in the next phase.
She added that estimates indicate that by 2050, Etihad Rail will contribute to reducing land transport sector emissions by up to 21%, equivalent to about 8.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
She pointed out that since last year, the company has started issuing certificates to its customers confirming the scale of carbon emission reductions achieved by using rail transport services instead of conventional means.
The Ghuweifat freight terminal serves as a key hub for facilitating seamless cross-border operations.
