2023年8月30日 · If travelling internationally, going by train or boat is lower-carbon than flying; Electric vehicles are nearly always lower-carbon than petrol or diesel cars. The reductions are greatest for countries with a cleaner electricity mix; If traveling domestically, driving — even if it’s alone — is usually better than flying;

2019年8月23日 · Train virtually always comes out better than plane, often by a lot. A journey from London to Madrid would emit 43kg (95lb) of CO2 per passenger by train, but 118kg by plane (or 265kg if the...

2020年10月6日 · Are cars, trucks, planes, or trains the dominant sources? This chart shows global transport emissions in 2018. The data is sourced from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Road travel accounts for three-quarters of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles — cars and buses — contributing 45.1%.

2022年2月15日 · Flying on a short flight or driving alone are the most carbon-intensive travel methods. However, adding one more passenger to your car ends up cutting the emissions in half, making driving more efficient. Specifically, it’s worth breaking down categories of flights more, as their emissions depend greatly on their route length:

Train, car or plane? Our choice of transport mode for a holiday trip is crucial in terms of the emissions it generates. This section contains comprehensive information on the climate footprint of traveling by train, car, bus, flight and ferry.

2021年3月6日 · Assuming that your travel is fully booked, the diesel bus comes out on top, followed by the high-speed train, the car with three people in it, then the medium aircraft. Trains and buses have an...

2016年7月11日 · To understand the fuel efficiency of planes vs buses vs trains vs cars, we need to look at two variables: How much fuel does it take to move the vehicle; How many people can the vehicle carry; Cars (especially modern fuel efficient cars) burn less fuel than buses, trains, and planes, but they also carry a lot less people.

2019年9月30日 · Trains vs planes: train travel is a very effective way to reduce your carbon footprint. According to a European Environment Agency (EEA) graph, planes can be 20 times worse than trains per transport kilometre, and opting to take the train instead of a plane is one of the most effective ways for travellers to reduce their carbon footprint ...

2013年6月17日 · A 1000 km trip alone in a big car could emit as much as 250 kg of carbon dioxide (CO 2), the researchers calculate, while a train trip or carpooling in a small car could emit as little as 50...

The carbon footprint of travel is measured in grams of carbon dioxide-equivalents per passenger kilometer. This includes the impact of increased warming from aviation emissions at altitude. Note: Official conversion factors used in UK reporting.
