THE FIRST CARBON INSETTING PROGRAM FOR FREIGHT RAIL

Launched by Norfolk Southern in collaboration with 123Carbon

Norfolk Southern’s RailGreen, powered by 123Carbon, is the first program of its kind for freight rail, helping shippers reduce transportation-related emissions. With verified carbon insetting certificates, you can shrink your carbon footprint and move closer to your sustainability goals — all while keeping your supply chain running strong.

How RailGreen Works

RailGreen directly funds lower-carbon transportation fuel solutions with emissions reduction that are verified, traceable, and accountable through blockchain-backed Environmental Attribute Certificates (EAC's).

  • Customers contract with NS to participate in RailGreen
  • Customers receive certificates to apply towards their supply chain emisions
  • NS acquires biofuels to reduce GHG emissions from locomotives
  • Biofuel usage is certified by a third party to generate RailGreen certificates

How RailGreen Benefits Shippers

By participating in RailGreen, you can:

  • Make measurable progress towards your sustainability goals
  • Reduce Scope 3 emissions and integrate verified reductions into your corporate sustainability reporting
  • Improve supply chain transparency with traceable, blockchain-backed environmental data

RailGreen vs. Carbon Offsets

Carbon offsets reduce emissions outside of a company's operations, often through unrelated projects like reforestation. RailGreen's carbon insetting approach directly reduces emissions by funding sustainable fuel initiatives.

TRANSPARENT, VERIFIABLE EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS

RailGreen follows a rigorous verification process to ensure emissions reductions are measurable and verifiable.
