Sustainable rail transport

Sustainable rail transport refers to using trains in ways that minimize environmental impact and conserve resources. It involves adopting energy-efficient technologies, such as electric trains powered by renewable sources, reducing emissions and pollution. Railways often use less land and produce fewer greenhouse gases per passenger or ton of freight compared to road or air transport. Implementing sustainable practices also includes modern infrastructure, better planning, and efficient operations to decrease energy use and boost overall environmental quality. This approach supports economic growth while protecting natural resources, making rail a cleaner, more responsible option for moving people and goods.
