Question
Will the Minister provide a breakdown of the carbon footprint of each model of train currently in use by Transport for Wales, including the number of units of each model?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
The total carbon footprint from TfW rolling stock for 20/21 was 63,738 tCO2e.
This was calculated based on the total gas oil consumption for the TfW fleet. (Using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, multiplying the activity data (traction fuel consumption) by the emissions factor for red diesel). TfW do not keep data at an individual train model level.
