Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway (HSR) did not report specific carbon emissions data in kg CO2e. However, it is noted that the emissions per passenger-kilometre on the Tokyo-Osaka line were approximately 0.009 kg CO2e, providing a comparative benchmark for high-speed rail emissions. Currently, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from the Beijing-Shanghai HSR, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce carbon emissions. This absence of specific initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy, especially in the context of the global push for sustainable transport solutions. As the railway industry increasingly focuses on reducing its carbon footprint, the Beijing-Shanghai HSR may benefit from establishing clear emissions reduction targets and engaging in climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
