Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation The activity complies with one of the following criteria: (a) the trains and passenger coaches have zero direct (tailpipe) CO 2 emissions; (b) the trains and passenger coaches have zero direct (tailpipe) CO 2 emission when operated on a track with necessary infrastructure, and use a conventional engine where such infrastructure is not available (bimode). Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources N/A (4) Transition to a circular economy Measures are in place to manage waste in accordance with the waste hierarchy, in particular during maintenance. (5) Pollution prevention and control Engines for the propulsion of railway locomotives (RLL) and engines for the propulsion of railcars (RLR) comply with emission limits set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 226 ). (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems N/A
