Rail carbon calculator

February 11, 2012
No Comments

CSX has introduced an improved Carbon Calculator aimed at helping consumers and businesses better understand the key role freight rail plays in a sustainable supply chain. CSX's online Carbon Calculator not only helps customers make smart supply chain decisions, but also helps educate consumers about the path items take to get to store shelves or their front door.

To demonstrate the efficiencies of CSX's network, the calculator compares the carbon emissions generated by freight rail with those of longhaul trucks over similar routes. Consumers are able to choose from a number of variables—from the type and volume of goods transported to the length of the route—to estimate the average carbon emissions reduced by shipping via rail.

The tool also plays an important role for businesses, helping them optimize their supply chains as they bring goods to market more sustainably than ever before. The calculator provides shippers with an opportunity to better understand the environmental benefits of shipping their goods via rail. The tool shows how intermodal shipments, combining both truck and rail transport to maximize efficiency, can drastically reduce carbon emissions. CSX's enhanced carbon calculator can be found on the CSX website, www.csx.com.
