Delhi Metro passengers will now be able to know on the go about the average amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions they are reducing by virtue of their metro journeys, the DMRC said on Wednesday. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has unveiled a pioneering initiative called ‘CarbonLite Metro Travel’ to educate passengers about their significant contribution towards reducing carbon emissions by choosing metro trains instead of road-based motor vehicles, it said in a statement.
Supported with a comprehensive research conducted by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Delhi, the initiative underscores that each kilometer travelled by metro train instead of road vehicles “results in a noteworthy reduction of 32.38 grams of CO2 emissions”, it added.
