Yeah, there's a ferry from Rostock to Helsinki. However I'm trying to reduce my travel-related emissions, and after crunching the numbers have concluded that the best option would be ferry+train via Sweden, with electric car via Sweden a close second (per head, assuming two people or more in the car). Fingers crossed for that tunnel and a direct overnight train connection!
- lordnacho 5y agoHow did you work out the emissions of the ferry routes?
- aakour 5y agoI used the numbers from the Finnish state research centre VTT (http://lipasto.vtt.fi/yksikkopaastot/tavaraliikennee/vesiliikennee/roroe.htm http://lipasto.vtt.fi/yksikkopaastot/tavaraliikennee/vesilii...)
- lordnacho 5y agoLooks like a useful table, but unless I've missed it you need to know how many people/cars are on each ship?
- aakour 5y agoMy understanding is that these numbers (try to) account for actual real world usage rates. Actual emissions will of course depend on a whole lot of things, including the things you mentioned, prevailing winds, etc. Same for estimating grid emissions for charging the car of course - the exact mix of sources is always in flux.
- watt 5y agoWhere are the car trains when you need them!
- benhurmarcel 5y agoIn terms of emissions how does that compare to flying?
