Barcelona is turning subway trains into power stations

22 Oct 2024  |  The Fifth Estate
Barcelona's subway system is innovatively using regenerative braking technology to convert energy from train stops into electricity, powering station amenities and electric vehicle chargers. The MetroCHARGE project, led by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona and Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona, aims to expand this sustainable energy solution, reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption. The initiative has sparked interest from other cities, including New York, which could benefit significantly from similar energy-saving measures. Challenges include cost, infrastructure placement, and stakeholder coordination, but the potential for substantial energy savings and environmental benefits is clear.

The initiative has garnered interest from other cities, including New York, which could benefit from similar energy savings. Challenges include cost, infrastructure placement, and stakeholder coordination, but the potential for substantial energy and cost savings is driving interest in replicating the model.

In Barcelona, the energy of metro stations comes from the trains themselves

27 Sep 2024  |  Fast Company Brasil
Barcelona's metro system utilizes regenerative braking technology to convert energy from train deceleration into electricity, powering station infrastructure and electric vehicle chargers. The MetroCHARGE project, led by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona and Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona, aims to expand this sustainable energy initiative. The system is expected to provide 41% of the energy needed for trains, reducing CO2 emissions significantly. Other cities, like New York, are interested in adopting similar systems to achieve energy savings. Challenges include data availability and coordination among stakeholders.
