KPI: Carbon Dioxide emissions per passenger kilometre
The amount of Scope 1 Carbon Dioxide emissions in grams produced by our rail services per passenger km travelled. Scope 1 emissions are those arising from fuel consumption by our trains. This methodology is in line with Welsh Government reporting criteria for Carbon emissions.
Overview
Carbon Dioxide emissions per passenger kilometre decreased in Q2 2024/25 compared to the same period last year despite an increase in passenger journeys. This was due to the introduction of new, more efficient trains and the gradual removal from service of older, less efficient trains.

Q2 2023/24 86.4 |
Q2 2024/25 78.4 |
Well-being of Future Generations Act (WFGA) goals addressed:
2. A Resilient Wales
3. A Healthier Wales
4. A More Equal Wales
7. A Globally Responsible Wales
Forward look
We continue to tackle the climate emergency, by publishing a Carbon Management Plan which aims to manage our carbon emitting activities, and an Energy Efficiency Strategy which aims to reduce carbon emissions by increasing energy efficiency. We also expect to see our carbon emissions from diesel decrease as our first hybrid trains and electric tram trains are introduced onto the Core Valley Lines.
