Can railway networks help decarbonise the transport sector, solve global supply
chain issues, and provide urban passengers with a green travel solution?
From the vast adventures of the Trans-Siberian Railway
to the romance and grandeur of the Orient Express, train
travel has been crucial to human transportation for over
two centuries. And now, despite struggling infrastructure,
it seems the world’s railways might offer a solution to
transport’s sustainability problems.
Electrifying progress
The climate emergency has arrived, bringing with it
the urgent need to significantly reduce global carbon
emissions. International efforts to reach net zero targets
require significant shifts in the approach to mobility – for
both passengers and cargo. Transport emits 37% of CO2
emissions from end-use sectors and has a high reliance on
fossil fuels1.
So, why could railways play a pivotal role in decarbonising
the transport sector?
