Canadian Pacific Kansas City published its 2025 Climate Mileposts report highlighting the actions being taken by CPKC to enhance sustainability.
CPKC is exploring and investing in innovative technology solutions and projects to reduce emissions from its locomotive operations and support CPKC’s long-term sustainability objectives. The company said it is:
- Making significant strides with its pioneering Hydrogen Locomotive Program, which has swiftly progressed from initial movement trials to recording more than 6,000 miles in freight service testing by the end of 2024.
- Doubling the size of its hydrogen test fleet in early 2025 to include three additional locomotives and an added tender car; then adding further to this test fleet with four more locomotives planned for later in 2025.
- Successfully conducting more than 1,100 fueling events in 2024 as part of its B20 locomotive biofuel trial in British Columbia. In cooperation with the broader rail industry, this initiative aims to validate the operational impacts of using advanced renewable biofuel blends.
- Preparing to deliver 100 Tier 4 diesel-electric locomotives in 2025, which are expected to reduce air pollutants and emissions and enhance fuel economy and reliability.
“Shipping by rail is the most fuel-efficient way to move goods over land and our Climate Mileposts report outlines the steps we are taking to further advance the potential for future decarbonization of the CPKC locomotive fleet,” CPKC President and Chief Executive Officer Keith Creel said in a release. “We are committed to working towards continuously improving our locomotive operating efficiency and advancing real-world testing of hydrogen locomotives.”
