T-1A2-3 - Shift to travel by hydrogen rail

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Hydrogen vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. They are also significantly more energy efficient and quiet than fossil-fueled vehicles. The shift to hydrogen passenger rail reduces greenhouse gas emissions given that the production of the hydrogen is from a low emission source.

Transition Element

• Type of shift: Type Shift
• Activity: TBD
• Operation: TBD
• ATOC: TBD

Activities

Shift from:

• A-1A2-1 - Diesel rail passenger transport

Shift to:

• A-1A2-3 - Hydrogen passenger rail
