 THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CARBON SAVINGS OF RAIL |
|
HOW TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT USING RAIL TRANSPORT  RAIL FREIGHT
Rail freight is 3-11 times more energy efficient than road freight. Changing your freight from road to rail could reduce your transport carbon footprint by up to 75%. To determine how much carbon your organisation can reduce, organise a Transport Carbon Audit now to determine the carbon savings for your organisation's footprint through moving your freight by rail instead of road.  PASSENGER RAIL
Passenger rail transport is 2.4-9.7 times more energy efficient than other modes including cars, motorcycles, buses and ferries. One 6 car passenger train can take up to 500 cars off the road and is the equivalent of 11 buses. Catching a train to work can reduce your personal carbon footprint as well as reducing and avoiding road congestion. A freeway lane can move 2,500 people per hour, a busway can move 7,000 people and hour and a passenger train can move 50,000 people an hour. |
