About this document
Rail Energy Use and Emissions Analysis by John Daniel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Rail transport is more energy efficient and produces fewer emissions than other modes of transport such as cars and trucks. It accounts for 7% of transport volume but only 2% of energy usage and 4% of CO2 emissions in the transport sector. Trains benefit from low rolling and air resistance. Their energy efficiency depends on factors like the propulsion system, train design, and speed. Electric trains are generally more efficient than diesel trains, with high-speed trains being the most efficient. The CO2 in
