Low Carbon Rail Challenge Technical Report
UIC, the International Railway Association, has announced a transport sector challenge in the framework of the green growth agenda and climate change perspective for 2030 and 2050. This challenge sets out ambitious but achievable targets for improvement of rail sector energy efficiency, reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a more sustainable balance between transport modes. These targets have been voted unanimously by UIC worldwide members in UIC General Assembly, held in Paris on June 27th 2014.
These worldwide voluntary reduction objectives follow what has already been put into practice at the European level by UIC and CER with the “European Rail Sector Sustainable Mobility Strategy” that envisages specific targets for energy efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, PM/NOx emissions reduction and noise reduction to be met by the EU railway sector in 2030 and 2050.
In order to monitor the environmental performance of the European Railway Sector, the UIC Environmental Strategy Reporting System (ESRS) has been created as a comprehensive instrument which allows the overall procedure of construction of indicators, data collection, analysis, reporting and data sharing to be regulated in a clear and transparent structure.
