Amtrak replaces more than 2M gallons of fossil fuel with renewable diesel in 2023

In Washington, Amtrak reported in its 2023 sustainability report that it replaced more than 2 million gallons of fossil fuel with renewable diesel on California’s state-supported Capitol Corridor, Pacific Surfliner and Amtrak San Joaquins passenger trains, reducing GHG emissions by roughly 63%.

Amtrak is on a mission to connect more people and places across America with plans to double ridership to 66 million by 2040 while achieving net-zero by 2045. To shift people out of cars and planes, the strategies within Amtrak’s Climate Commitment are improving sustainability and increasing resiliency to become a bigger part of the solution for addressing climate change.
