T-1A2 - Rail
Passenger rail transport is a key component of sustainable personal mobility. To further reduce emissions in this sector, three primary strategies are explored: the use of biofuels as a cleaner alternative for diesel-powered trains, the transition to electric passenger rail, and the adoption of hydrogen-powered trains.
The transition elements below aim to decarbonise rail transport, enhancing its role as an environmentally friendly alternative to road and air travel, and supporting broader efforts to achieve sustainability in personal mobility.
IPCC Mitigation Options for rail are covered in M-1A - Land-based Transport.
| | Index | Transition Element | IPCC Mitigation Option |
|---|---|---|---|
