CO2 Footprints & Biofuels?

MrX · 16-01-2007, 09:58

Given our horrendous non-compliance with our kyoto agreement carbon emission targets, what is our national transit operator doing about reducing its carbon footprint?

Can the new intercity DMUs run on biofuels?
Can the 201s?
Can the exsisting commuter DMUs?

What's their timetable for the convertion of the bus fleet?

Seems like I'm not hearing *anything* about any of these issues. CIE seem to have largely paid minor lipservice to the environmental impact of their operations.

Has DART considered switching to Airtricity?

Has the RPA looked at similar moves for Luas power supply?
