discover CarbonTracker SYSTRA is bolstering its offering to drive energy transition for its clients. Against a backdrop of tensions on the energy and raw materials markets, setting our sights on energy efficiency means that we can find new solutions and is evidence of our desire to help create a more responsible economy. With our expertise in transport systems, our knowledge of regional issues and our simulation tools, we are able to test and optimise energy transition scenarios. Support the conversion The transport sector is responsible for one fifth of global emissions. To help people make the transition to less-polluting forms of mobility, the Group helps its clients convert their train lines or bus routes from diesel to electric or other alternative forms of energy. And it creates master plans for installing public electric charging stations. We also develop in-house digital solutions to drive the sustainable design of each project. Driving and optimising sustainable design We have developed Carbontracker, which measures the carbon impact of design-phase decisions across the entire asset lifecycle in real time, at transport infrastructure scale. This tool uses a carbon database which is compatible with BIM technology and adapts to the data of each project. In 2022, we started using it with metro projects in France and abroad. The result is that we can now use our digital models and automatically determine the carbon impacts of the infrastructure built. We have also implemented it on highway and rail projects: we can now assess their contribution to the reduction targets that our clients have set themselves. The tool can also be used to compare the carbon and financial optimisations achieved by reducing the quantities of materials used. With eBRT2030, SYSTRA is boosting bus electromobility in Europe SYSTRA is contributing to the European project eBRT2030 (Bus Rapid Transit), the aim of which is to reduce emissions and congestion, and move towards sustainable zero-emission forms of transport. Within the international association of public transport UITP-led cluster, we will help demonstrate the utility of a new generation of high service level electric bus systems and provide cost-effective automation and connectivity solutions. This project, funded by the European Commission and involving more than 45 partners, will shape the future of electromobility across the European public transport sector. Infraday: optimising investments for less polluting infrastructure US: at the 3rd Infraday – a show all about infrastructure –, Frédéric Bana, Chief Operating Officer in the US, hosted a roundtable discussion on optimising infrastructure investments to achieve net-zero targets. Ibrahim Fazah Director of production and growth for the Australia and New Zealand markets “In New Zealand, about 80% of energy produced is green. The rail network however, which is mainly used for freight, is not very electrified. SYSTRA is therefore helping transport authority Kiwi Rail with its long-term energy transition. This involves a project to investigate options for electrifying four railway lines, and effecting the transition to hydrogen. The expertise of the other Group entities is a major asset, as is our detailed knowledge of the country’s topography and specific technical constraints to which it is subject. As is the case in Australia, energy transition is underway, and it’s happening very fast. We are pleased to give everything we’ve got to helping to make it happen.” — 5 SYSTRA — 2022 Sustainability Report
