Energy Efficiency • Rail is on average 2 -5 times more energy efficient than Road, Shipping and Aviation • Through approaches including eco-driving, use of new rolling stock, and operational measures, railways continue to improve

Climate change and CO 2 emissions

Energy Consumption • Train uses 1/4 th (or even less with better technology) the fuel of a truck to move freight • Train uses 1/8 th fuel (of the most efficient car) to move passengers • Railroad right of way uses only a fraction of the land needed to link a six lane highway.

Repairs • Highway needs months & hundreds of pieces of huge earth moving equipments to built or renovate 1 KM • A railroad uses a handful of relatively small equipments & works faster

Running • Trucks and cars run out millions of tyres every year that are tossed into land felts • Trains use steel wheels that last years & years and go millions of miles

Life Cycle • A truck or Car lasts on an average 10 years • Railroad equipments last 35 years or more

Alternative Fuel • About 50% of Railroad is now running on Electric traction which is indigenously generated • 10% bio-diesel is blended with HSD oil including jatropha, palm oil, karang, cotton seed oil, mahua oil & waste fish

Green Signals and Stations • Manwal station on Jammu. Udhampur rail route has all its lights & fans working on solar power • Northern Railway is running around 150 unreserved ticketing systems (UTS) on solar energy • Solar lights are being used for lighting of signals • Solar lights now available at majority of level crossing gates.

Environmental and Social Management Assessment • Inter-linkages with regard to environmental impacts. • Detailed environmental profile within 5 KM on either side of the proposed alignment • Detailed baseline environmental monitoring of various environmental attributes • Mitigation measures for environmental impacts and opportunities for enhancement for all the identified impacts. Public consultation and disclosure

• Environmental management and Monitoring plan comprising of prevention, mitigation and compensation measures that should commensurate with nature, scale and potential of the anticipated environmental impacts

Waste recycling • FRP sleeper being made out of waste plastic found on platform • Worn out sleepers being used for building of platforms • Cynder (burnt coal) used in dams and filling of breaches • Railway scrap (auctioned at high price) is used in buildings

SUBURBAN AND METRO RAIL • One 6 car metro rake per trip removes 16 buses /300 cars /600 two wheelers from the road. • Mumbai suburban carries 6. 9 million commuters/day. • On 1 st August, 2011 Delhi metro had 1. 8 million passengers by 2016 it will carry 4 million passengers /day. It has earned Rs. 400, 000 carbon credits by saving energy through regenerative banking. • Chennai metro will become functional by 2015 • Kolkata metro has eased the congestion on roads
