(5) Rail has a significant role to play as a game changer to achieve the climate neutrality objective by 2050. It is one of the most environmentally friendly and energy-efficient transport modes. Rail is largely electrified and emits just 0,5% of the total greenhouse gas emission from transport18a, far less CO2 than equivalent travel by road or air, and is the only mode that has consistently reduced its greenhouse gas emissions and CO2 emissions since 1990. In addition, rail has decreased its energy consumption between 1990-201618 and increasingly uses renewable energy sources.; _________________ 18DG MOVE Statistical Pocketbook 2019 “EU transport in figures” (source: Eurostat); 18a EC Press Corner ”2021: The European Year of Rail” (source: Eurostat, EU28 - 2017)
