*Air travel emissions per
passenger*
=
(.1098kg/KM/passenger x 2048km) x 2.7(uplift factor)
=*
611.37 kg* per person for entire trip
*Train travel emissions per
passenger*
(30.25 KWh / KM x 2806 km) / 2000
passengers = 42.44 KWh
42.44 KWh x 0.76 KG CO2 per
unit of Diesel
= *32.25 Kg* per person for
entire trip
*Car travel emissions per
passenger*
0.17 KG / Km x 2594 km = 440.98 kg for
4 passengers
440.98 / 4 = *110.24 Kg* per
person for entire trip
