The University of Graz saved 12.4 tons of CO₂ emissions in 2020 and 10.6 tons in 2021 by business travel with ÖBB.

The CO₂ savings result from the relation of the distance traveled between train and car. Even from the first distance traveled by train instead of by car, large amounts of emissions can be saved. With a diesel or gasoline-powered car, an average of 147 grams of CO₂ equivalents are emitted for one kilometer per person. If the same distance is covered by train, the CO₂ burden is reduced to 13 grams of CO₂ equivalents per person-kilometer.*

This makes rail travel an important component of climate-friendly mobility.
