| 442 | + distance for flying, it is assumed that train is used. The tool | |
| 442 | 443 | then computes the travel footprint associated with train. The |
| 443 | 444 | French emission factors provided by ADEME are 3.37 and 5.11 |

| 446 | + high speed trains and normal trains respectively. This low value is | |
| 446 | 447 | due to the fact that electricity is provided by nuclear plants. It |
| 447 | 448 | is larger by some factors across Europe. The tool thus assumes the |
