Reducing C02 emissions by more than 714,000 t


Russian Railways plans to invest over RUB 4 billion (EUR 0.051 million) in environmental conservation in 2020. By implementing air protection measures in 2020, the company expects to cut emissions of harmful substances by 13,000 t, including 1,000 t from stationary sources such as boiler rooms and 12,000 t from mobile sources like locomotives and road vehicles.

 

Furthermore, implementing the company’s energy-saving and energy efficiency programme should enable Russian Railways to achieve planned savings in 2020 of 797 million kWh of electricity and also significant savings in thermal energy, diesel and coal. This will enable the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 714,700 t, RZD said. (ben)
