CASE STUDY: A CARBON FOOTPRINT ANALYSIS OF RAILWAY SLEEPERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
CDT SIS Student Georgios Rempelos, supervisor Prof John Preston, Transportation Group. One area which has proven particularly controversial is the question of which sleeper material minimises whole-life greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as wood tends to be viewed as being a less carbon-intensive material than concrete. In terms of both environmental and economic performance, it is …
