In June 2024, Legal Industry Reviews featured an article by infrastructure attorneys Edwin Cortés and María Alejandra Gómez focusing on Colombia's Decree 510 of 2024. This decree has the potential to significantly impact the railway industry in Colombia by waiving the Environmental License requirement for projects that enhance existing infrastructure and utilize environmentally friendly energy sources such as electricity and hydrogen. The authors emphasize that this regulatory change is a crucial step towards revitalizing the railway sector in Colombia, indicating a shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation options. By allowing projects powered by green energy to proceed without the burden of additional environmental permitting, Decree 510 aims to facilitate the modernization and expansion of the rail network in the country. This development is seen as a positive move towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting greener modes of transportation in Colombia, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and support sustainable development.
