Offset your train journey
Taking the train is already one of the best travel choices you can make. It still isn’t emission-free — here’s what a journey costs the climate, and how to cover it.
Why the train still has a footprint
Rail emissions come from the electricity or diesel that moves the train. On a clean electric network the per-passenger footprint is a small fraction of flying or driving the same route — often around a tenth of an equivalent flight.
Train vs. plane
For most journeys under a thousand kilometres, taking the train instead of flying is one of the single biggest travel emission cuts available to an individual. Offsetting what remains is inexpensive precisely because the footprint is already low.
FAQ
Is train travel really lower carbon than flying?
Yes, substantially. Per passenger-kilometre, rail typically emits a small fraction of what a short-haul flight does, especially on electrified lines powered by low-carbon grids.
Why offset a train journey at all?
Because low-carbon isn’t no-carbon. Offsetting the remainder is cheap and makes an already-good choice fully accounted for.
