jun 25, 2021 - (FRANCE) Transport generates 31% of greenhouse gas emissions in France.

Description:

Transport generates 31% of greenhouse gas emissions in France. Decarbonizing it is therefore a major challenge for our society. Rail freight and combined rail-road transport are key levers for this transformation, according to Franck Tuffereau and Denis Choumert. For one ton of goods transported, rail freight emits nine times less CO2 and eight times less harmful particles than road transport, and consumes six times less energy.
