Our goal is to take the safest, most efficient and least resource-intensive approach to how we deliver our services.
LOCOMOTIVES ACCOUNT FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR GHG EMISSIONS.
Approximately 92% of Aurizon’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relate to the operation of our diesel and electric fleet of 500 active locomotives.

OUR TARGET IS TO REDUCE THE GHG EMISSIONS INTENSITY OF OUR LOCOMOTIVE FLEET.
In FY2016 we established a new target of 15% reduction in the GHG emissions intensity of our locomotive fleet by 2020 (using FY2015 as baseline). Achieving this target will result in a 30% emissions intensity reduction since 2010.

LOCOMOTIVE DIESEL EMISSIONS ARE ALSO A KEY ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS.
We seek to improve efficiency of our fleet to minimise diesel emissions. Locomotives contribute less than 1% of particulate matter (PM) in the New South Wales (NSW) Greater Metropolitan Region.
