Annual Report 2025 – ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG

ÖBB-Infrastruktur Aktiengesellschaft Group Management Report | Consolidated Financial Statements 67 Target Increase the level of decarbonisation (track electrification and batteries) to 85% by 2030 Reduction in GHG emissions Economic activity EU Taxonomy Status Target scope Decarbonised lines include both the proportion of lines decarbonised via infrastructure (electrification) and the proportion decarbonised via rolling stock (use of battery-powered trains) as a percentage of the total length of lines in operation. in implementation phase Methodology A newly added objective for the decarbonisation of rail lines, which, in addition to line electrification, reflects technological advancements and infrastructure measures (operation of lines using battery-powered trains). The target was set during the reporting year. Measure Multi-phase electrification plan The implementation of the multi-phase electrification plan includes, among other things Creation of the conditions required for alternative drive technologies (e.g. battery-powered railcars) on branch lines and in shunting areas, as well as implementation of further electrification measures on railway lines. n. a. (Enabler role) CCM/CCA 6.14. in implementation phase Climate change adaptation The ÖBB-Infrastruktur Group has been pursuing a holistic approach to climate change adaptation for years, ranging from research projects to the practical implementation of various preventive measures. Research projects provide essential findings for the development of targeted adaptation measures, which are then put into practice. Operational measures are based both on current research findings and on many years of experience in dealing with natural hazards. Overarching climate risk analyses also provide valuable information for the continuous monitoring and management of climate risks in order to ensure the resilience of business activities to climatic changes. The targets and measures for adapting to climate change are derived from the strategic directions. These defined targets and measures serve to reduce significant physical climate risks. The ÖBB-Infrastruktur Group implements a large number of measures in the field of natural hazard management. The stated measures only constitute an excerpt from the overall portfolio of measures.
