Spanish companies Enagás, Renfe and Gas Natural Fenosa are collaborating with Institut Cerdà, ARMF and Bureau Veritas on the first pilot test for trains powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). It will from part of the Strategy for the Promotion of Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFV) in Spain 2014 – 2020, in line with the purpose and scope of Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in Europe. The test will involve an LNG-powered locomotive travelling from the Feve diesel train depot to Figaredo, in Asturias. This is a very important step forward as it shows that we can move away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources such as solar power or wind power.
