Norfolk Southern includes low carbon fuels in its decarbonization strategy

In Georgia, Norfolk Southern Corporation released its inaugural Climate Transition Plan (CTP) recently. The CTP is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a focus on transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability is rooted in Norfolk Southern’s values and its deep understanding of climate science.

Norfolk Southern’s CTP will focus in part on fuel management and consumption, all to help achieve its science-based target of reducing GHG emissions intensity 42% by 2034. These include innovative technologies and operating practices to improve locomotive fleet fuel economy. Fuel accounts for over 90% of the company’s scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. Increased consumption of low carbon fuels and renewable energy usage are also key components of the plan.
