Greenhouse gas emissions from passenger transportation in Germany by mode 2019-2021
In 2020, domestic aviation was the mode of transportation that emitted more greenhouse gases (GHG) per passenger-kilometer in Germany with 284 grams per pkm. In the same year, the transport mode with the lowest GHG emissions per passenger-kilometer was the long-distance bus with less than 37 grams per passenger-kilometer.
Emissions per passenger kilometer rose significantly in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lower passenger numbers and load factors meant that shared transport modes, were less efficient during this period.
