65% Electricity source is Thermal (54% Commercial need met through Coal Reserves)!! CO2 emission @ Coal vs Diesel (220/161
click here Efficiency of E-Loco & D-Loco stands at 35% (Thermal Plant @ 38% and E-Loco @ 95%, total 35%) while EMD must be @ 40-45% Efficiency!! With Equal Smoke getting Wasted (less for EMD), E-Loco emits more CO2 coz of Coal as energy source!!
We never see much of Smoke after initial chugging for D-Loco while Thermal Plant display continuous Smoke and increased E-Loco demand will lead more coal getting burnt!!
