Abstract
Indian railways play an important role on the overall development of country. As with increasing population, the numbers of trains are added for services, so does railways coaches. Consequently, the impact on environment is also increasing. This study closely examines the carbon footprint associated with railway coaches used by the Indian Railways. The system boundary is limited to manufacture of coaches itself. The railway coach of Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) bogie is considered. The calculations are carried out on the basis of weight distribution of various materials used for manufacturing of coaches and it mainly focused on global warming potential (GWP) calculation. The total GWP for an LHB coach is likely to be 62.94 tonnes CO2 equivalent. Steel is main contributor with approximately 47 tonnes of CO2equivalent, followed by plastic and stainless steel with approximately 9.8 tonnes and 3.6 tonnes, respectively.
