Uber Trains and the Eurostar Green Benchmark

27 Aug 2025 | Abstracted from EVWorld.com

Eurostar aims to run on 100% renewable electricity by 2030, sourcing from wind, solar, storage, and low-carbon nuclear. Uber's planned train service is expected to follow suit as both rely on UK–EU grids. A London–Paris train trip emits just 2–11 kg CO₂e per passenger versus 50–120 kg by plane, while door-to-door times are comparable (3.5–4h by train vs. 4–5h by air). This makes high-speed rail both cleaner and faster city-centre to city-centre.
