[edit / update model]
This category is deprecated. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodologies for train transport can now be found here

Train US per passenger data is from the GHGP worksheet GHG emissions from transport or mobile sources v2.0. This category allows the user to calculate emissions from a US train journey depending on the distance traveled and the number of passengers.

The user selects the drill-down type to select the type of train from the following options.

  • light rail
  • tram
  • average (light rail and tram)
  • national rail
  • subway

The distance and numberOfPassengers are then entered as profile item values.

The algorithm returns a kg CO2e value, which includes CO2, N2O and CH4 emissions.
