Description
| Description | This challenge sets out ambitious but achievable targets for improvement of rail sector energy efficiency, reductions in green house gas (GHG) emissions and a more sustainable balance between transport modes. |
|---|---|
| Objectives | To reduce specific final energy consumption from train operations by: 50% reduction by 2030 and 60% reduction by 2050 (relative to a 1990 baseline);
To reduce specific average CO2 emissions from train operations by: 50% reduction by 2030 and 75% reduction by 2050 (relative to a 1990 baseline); Rail share of passenger transport (passenger/km) to achieve a: 50% increase by 2030 and 100% increase, a doubling by 2050 (relative to a 2010 baseline); Rail share of freight land transport (tonne/km) to be: equal with road by 2030 and 50% greater than road by 2050. |
| Activities | Additional objective announced since COP21 to develop rail sector a rail sector adaptation strategy & roadmap.
Ongoing program of capacity building to improve rail sector energy efficiency and decarbonisation, including the following workshops; • EcoDriving and DAS-ATO Workshop (10 February 2016) http://www.uic.org/forms/spip.php?article1483 • Refurbishment and Parked Trains Workshop (8 June 2016) http://www.uic.org/forms/spip.php?article1485 • Carbon Footprint in Railways: Integrated Scope and Innovative Tools (13 October 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Carbon-Footprint-in-Railways-Integrated-scope-and-innovative-nbsp • Weather Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation (13 October 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Weather-Resilience-and-Climate-Change-Adaptation • Digital Comm & Energy Efficiency In Railways: Driving, Metering & Billing (13 Oct 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Digital-Communication-and-Energy-Efficiency-in-railways-Driving-Metering-nbsp • Energy Efficiency Projects: Potential Improvements for Mid & Long Term (13 October 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Energy-Efficiency-Projects-Potential-Improvements-for-mid-and-long-nbsp • Door to Door Business Solutions (13 October 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Door-to-Door-Business-Solutions • Sustainable and Smart Stations and Infrastructures (13 October 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Sustainable-and-Smart-Stations-and-Infrastructures • TOPRAIL: Sustainable Tourism (13 October 2016) http://uic-environment.org/workshops#Sustainable-Tourism-TopRail |

| Goals | |
| Comments on indicators and goals | |
| How will goals be achieved | |
| Have you changed or strenghtened your goals | |
| Progress towards the goals | After COP21 77 CEOs representing the majority of the worlds rail activity have signed the UIC Climate Responsibility Pledge detailing a commitment to 4 actions; 1. to reduce specific energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and through this contribute to the “UIC Low Carbon Rail Transport Challenge” and its global 2030/2050 targets, 2. Stimulate modal shift to rail in national and international markets, 3. actively communicate climate friendly initiatives, 4. report data on specific energy consumption and CO2 emissions to UIC on a regular basis. |
| How are you tracking progress of your initiative | Energy, CO2 and production data are collected directly from railway companies using a dedicated on line website www.co2-data.org which also allows benchmarking of progress. These are reported annually in a joint publication with the International Energy Agency.
Data on modal share are derived from the IEA database. |
| Available reporting | An annual Reporting on the initiative’s progress with third party verification of data will commence in 2016. It will also develop a global registry of modal shift projects and an energy efficiency roadmap for 2030 & 2050 in order to measure and monitor progress of the rail transport challenge. |
