A-1B2-2 - Electric rail freight

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in TBD.

Transition Elements

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

• 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:
