THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CARBON SAVINGS OF RAIL

CREATING CORPORATE RAIL CARBON CREDITS


CREATING CORPORATE CARBON CREDITS FROM PASSENGER RAIL

Transport emissions growth comparison reference source adapted from www.greenhouse.gov.au, Inventory2004.pdf

One 6 car passenger train can take 500 cars off the road with the equivalent transport task of 11 buses (Reference: QR Limited, Environmental Strategy Unit, 2007)

Energy Efficiency can be measured by comparing how many passenger kilometres are travelled via the different transport modes if measured by the same mega joules energy unit.

A freeway lane moves 2,500 people per hour, a busway moves 7,000 people per hour and a train line moves 50,000 people per hour. (Reference: www.naturaledgeproject.net, NBLFSD_Executive_Report.pdf)
