A-1A2-2 - Electric rail passenger transport

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in E-1A3c - Railways.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation methods modelled as transition elements:

• T-1A1a-6 - Shift from car to railway
• T-1A2-2 - Shift to travel by electric rail
• T-1A3-4 - Shift from air travel to railway
• T-1B1b-10 - Shift from heavy truck to electric railway
• T-1B2-2 - Shift to electric freight rail transportation

Activity Model

This emission source is modelled with Electromagnetism as:
