Amtrak has issued a new net zero emissions target, pledging to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the Amtrak Network by 2045.
Amtrak seeks to achieve this goal by implementing renewable fuels and energy, reducing diesel fuel usage through more environmentally friendly technologies and sourcing 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2030.
“Not only are trains convenient and comfortable, but they are also one of the most sustainable modes of transportation,” said Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner. “With new equipment, modernized stations and net zero emissions, Amtrak can lead the drive toward sustainable transportation throughout the nation.”
