RSSB launches free Carbon Management Tool to cut rail infrastructure emissions

RSSB has released a free Carbon Management Tool aimed at rail infrastructure projects. The tool is meant to help project teams assess whole life carbon from materials and assets before designs are locked in. RSSB says about half of railway greenhouse gas emissions come from the materials used to build, renew, and maintain infrastructure. The tool lets teams compare options and choose lower-carbon approaches earlier in project development. It is available now, with a webinar and training program for organizations that want to use it. For anyone working on rail projects or infrastructure carbon reporting, this is a practical resource worth reviewing. The main open question is whether its use becomes a standard part of project approval processes.
