Direct emissions down by a third - London St. Pancras Highspeed helps accelerate lower-carbon travel

London St. Pancras Highspeed’s direct emissions have fallen by around one-third since 2019-20, according to its latest Impact Report. The reduction reflects a combination of UK grid decarbonisation and energy efficiency improvements across the railway, from major traction power efficiency projects to targeted heating and lighting upgrades at stations and depots. The business also sources zero-carbon electricity through Corporate Power Purchase Agreements linked to UK renewable energy projects, accounting for 42% of electricity consumed across railway and station operations during the reporting year, with an ambition to increase this to 80% by 2030.
