The transport infrastructure sector<\/b>, which includes rail\nnetworks, metros, trams, airports, ports<\/b>, as well as road and highway\ninfrastructures<\/b>, represents a cornerstone of economic functioning and\nterritorial mobility. It is characterized by high energy intensity<\/b>, continuous\noperation, and stringent requirements for safety, reliability, and service\ncontinuity.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Its greenhouse gas emissions mainly come from the power supply to\nelectric traction systems, infrastructure lighting, signaling and safety\nequipment, as well as ancillary facilities such as stations, terminals, or\nmaintenance centers. <\/b>In addition, there is significant energy\nconsumption related to ventilation, air conditioning, and flow management\nsystems, particularly in underground or confined environments.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

In a context marked by increasing mobility demands, pressure on\noperating costs, and strengthened decarbonization targets<\/b>, the energy\ntransition represents a major strategic lever for transport infrastructure\noperators. This transition relies on a combination of solutions integrating <\/span>energy efficiency<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b>, <\/span>electrification of uses<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b>, on-site <\/b><\/span>renewable energy<\/span>,<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> and the development of energy flexibility\nthrough <\/span>energy storage<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In this framework, GreenYellow supports transport infrastructure\nmanagers with a comprehensive approach covering the entire energy value chain \u2014\nfrom the assessment<\/b> and design of solutions <\/b>to their <\/span>financing<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b>, deployment<\/b>, and operation<\/b>. This\napproach ensures operational continuity while optimizing costs and reducing\ncarbon footprint.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The transport sector has significant potential for energy optimization,\nparticularly due to the standardization of equipment and the continuity of\noperations.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Improving energy efficiency primarily involves optimizing the most\nenergy-intensive systems, such as infrastructure lighting, ventilation\nsystems, auxiliary traction equipment, and technical building installations. <\/b>Replacing\nthem with high-performance technologies, such as smart LED lighting or\nvariable-speed ventilation systems, generates substantial savings while\nenhancing service quality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Energy recovery and valorization <\/span><\/b>are also key levers. For instance, energy from train or metro braking\ncan be captured and reinjected into the grid, while optimizing electrical\nsystems reduces energy losses across the infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Electrification of uses,<\/span><\/b>\nalready widely implemented in this sector, can be further enhanced through\nlow-carbon solutions for ancillary uses, particularly via high-performance\nelectric heating and cooling systems<\/b>. This approach helps reduce reliance\non fossil fuels while improving the overall efficiency of installations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Transport infrastructures often have large, underutilized areas, such\nas station roofs, parking lots, railway corridors, or logistics zones<\/b>,\nwhich provide ideal opportunities for deploying renewable energy solutions.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The installation of photovoltaic systems for self-consumption allows\nlocal production of carbon-free electricity directly used to power\ninfrastructure equipment<\/b>, including lighting, signaling systems, and\nassociated buildings. This local production reduces energy costs and secures\npart of the energy supply.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

It also aligns with the decarbonization strategies of public and private\nactors in the sector, in line with territorial energy transition policies and\nclimate commitments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

With a turnkey, zero-CAPEX model<\/b>, GreenYellow enables rapid\ndeployment of these solutions while ensuring their long-term performance and\navailability.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the transport infrastructure sector, energy management must guarantee\nservice continuity and user safety. Solutions implemented must therefore be\nrobust, reliable, and fully integrated with existing systems.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Energy storage <\/span><\/b>is a\ncrucial lever for improving flexibility and resilience<\/b>. Battery systems\nhelp smooth consumption peaks, optimize power demand, and secure the supply to\ncritical equipment during network disruptions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Additionally, storage can be used to valorize recovered energy<\/b>,\nparticularly in railway or urban transport networks, allowing its use at the\nmost advantageous times.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Advanced energy management solutions <\/b>also allow real-time\nsynchronization of production, consumption, and operational needs.<\/b> This\nintelligent management optimizes energy performance while maintaining a high\nlevel of service quality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The development of <\/span>Microgrids<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>in partnership with <\/b><\/span>Schneider Electric<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b>, fully aligns with this approach, enabling\nlocal, autonomous, and resilient energy systems capable of securing supply to\ncritical infrastructures.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
