1. 16. Comparison of Electric Aircraft and Electric Train : On the Distance Stockholm-Gothenburg

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Therese Bäckström; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Commercial aviation accounts for 2,4% of the total carbon dioxide emissions. This number is expected to reach 25% in 2050. In contrast to flying, the most energy efficient transportation mode is rail. In Sweden, rail and air are the most competitive on the distance Stockholm-Gothenburg due to similar total travel time.
