28 feb 2020 anni - (EUROPE) European shift to train travels could reduce CO2 emissions by 8.4 million tonnes

Descrizione:

If travellers took the train en masse instead of taking the plane to travel from one European city to another, CO2 emissions would be up to 10 per cent lower. A saving is around 8.4 million tonnes. This is the conclusion of a study published on Friday, 28 February, by the Rebel Group on behalf of the Dutch infrastructure manager ProRail. In the top 10 routes with the greatest savings, the London – Amsterdam connection is at the top with more than 1.9 tonnes less CO2 emissions than the aircraft.
