2. The UIC Energy & CO2 database
Energy & CO2 data collection became part of the UIC Official Statistics in 2008
Actually we have a complete 7 years time line series of about 30 companies mainly EU. Early 2014 we will data up to 2012.
Enlargement of data collection to NON-EU Countries preview for coming years
The whole system of data collection has recently been revised and improved

3. Targets The UIC Environmental Strategy Reporting System “on-line tool”
The Database: collects all energy consumption, CO2 emission, PM-NOX data for all european railway companies from year 2005 plus baseline.
The Methodological rules: Guidelines for UIC members to send data correctly + sound and proven methodology for calculations
On-line tool: a user-friendly internet corridor for members to send data to UIC
Annual reports: Presentation of yearly progress (or failure….) towards the targets
Policy for communication: Rules to share data internally and externally, preserving confidentiality where necessary

Objectives:
Promote good performance of railways with sound evidence
“Certification” of railways official data within international context
Co-operation for robust Energy and CO2 data
IEA and UIC signed an agreement to publish one Handbook every year

By 2030 Railways will reduce their specific average CO2 emissions from train operation by 50%. In addition, by 2030 the European railways will not exceed the total CO2 emission level from train operations in absolute terms even with projected traffic growth compared to the 1990 base year.
2050
Railways will strive towards carbon-free train operation by 2050 and provide society with a climate neutral transport alternative.
