OUR TECHNICAL ASSUMPTIONS AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE ENERGY AND RAILWAY SECTORS ELECTRICITY STORAGE becomes a (technical and financial) reality in the industrial world. Railways must integrate this technology which will be a strong asset for a robust and reliable electrical railway network. (GREEN) HYDROGEN will be one of the leading fuels of future (new) mobility patterns. H2 is the way to zero-emission trains. SMARTGRID will represent an opportunity to move the energy industry into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency. RAILWAY ENERGY STEERING will rely on a real-time management thanks to the digitalization of railway assets 5

HYBRID TRAIN FIRST STEP ON THE WAY TO LOW CARBON EMISSIONS CONCEPT OF HYBRIDIZATION > Installation of on-board energy storage system > Recover and use the train braking energy to supply the train and auxiliary equipment > This energy can be used in combination with diesel or electric power 2021 1 st HYBRID TRAIN OBJECTIVES > Cut down fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 20% > Reduce operating costs by 30 to 50% : fuel, electricity and diesel engine maintenance 2022 DEPLOYMENT OF HYBRIDIZATION On Diesel rolling stock 7
HYDROGEN TRAINS NEXT STEP TO ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Bring hydrogen to the rail sector > Hydrogen enhances sector coupling, crucial for the success of the energy transition 2023 1 st HYDROGEN TRAIN Electricity Storage Mobility 2025 DEMO OF HYDROGEN TRAIN FLEET > Hydrogen is a solution to decarbonize non electrified rail lines while keeping a performance level similar to that of diesel trains. > Rail applications can stimulate deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure by securing a large volume of hydrogen, thus helping bring costs down for other mobility applications. OBJECTIVES > Reach zero greenhouse gas emissions 2030 HYDROGEN TRAIN DEPLOYMENT 8
HYDROGEN TRAINS NEXT STEP FOR ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS SNCF is actively working on the hydrogen train > SNCF supports the joint Shift2Rail and FCHJU study Use of fuel cell hydrogen in railway > The study aims: > To analyze the business case of hydrogen and fuel cell usage in the rail environment, in both the passenger and freight segments > To propose a technology development roadmap including short term priority Research and Innovation Actions 2023 2025 2030 DEVELOPMENT PHASE 1 st HYDROGEN TRAIN DEMO OF HYDROGEN TRAIN FLEET HYDROGEN TRAIN DEPLOYMENT 9
HYDROGEN TRAINS Clear EU support needed to kick start hydrogen in the rail sector, as committed to in the Action Plan on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (November 2017 Clean Mobility Package) EU financial support needed to mitigate the risks linked to first demo projects and to speed up industrialization 10

SMART STATIONS AIX-EN-PROVENCE TGV STATION: PROOF OF CONCEPT OBJECTIVES: MAKING RAILWAY STATION AN ENERGETIC AND MOBILITY HUB Reach the energetic autonomy of the station, Propose the electric vehicle charging stations service. HOW? By COMBINING Technological blocks : > Smart charging stations, > Solar panels, > Energy Storage Systems. SNCF and Energy providers work together to optimize the usage of different assets in the microgrid with the goal to provide affordable, reliable energy with a low environmental impact. In the future: enable energy exchanges with the district around the station 15
16 Cooperation between RUs, IMs and the industry.
Future Improvements Noise & Energy Project objectives Identify and reduce operational costs in the railway system Identify energy benefits of all innovations of Shift2Rail and apply them to other segments, New methodology and process for rolling stock development. Open call 17
+ OUTLOOKS Energy eco labelling? 1 8 18
Shift2Rail has led to a successful cooperation between RUs, IMs and the industry. Some of the undertaken activities will not be completed by 2020. SNCF therefore actively supports the establishment of a Shift2Rail 2.0 in the next EU Research Framework Programme and would welcome being a strong partner in it. 19
