This solution replaces aviation of typical efficiency in 2014. Project Drawdown’s High-Speed Rail solution involves the construction of HSR track networks around the world to shift intercity travel onto HSR as defined by the UIC. Where adequate density exists, HSR can be an important component of a sustainable transportation system and bring vitality to city centers. China has by far the most HSR lines-more than 50 percent of the total-with Japan and Western Europe not far behind. That is why only certain places in the world have sufficient population density to support HSR. HSR is expensive and requires high ridership to break even. Over time, its energy source is likely to get cleaner as renewables generate a greater share of electricity. Compared with driving, flying, or riding conventional rail, it is the fastest way to travel between two points that are a few hundred miles apart and reduces carbon emissions up to 90 percent. That number will increase by 50 percent when current construction is completed many more thousands of kilometers are planned and under consideration. There were more than 56,000 kilometers of HSR lines worldwide in 2020. Growth is expected to continue as China and the European Union add to their extensive networks and new countries build their first lines. HSR has experienced significant growth in recent decades-especially in China, where the HSR network grew to almost 30,000 kilometers in a few years, representing around two-thirds of the global total. Line 3 will connect Qena to Hurghada (225 km).The International Union of Railways (UIC) defines high-speed rail (HSR) as a railway system where tracks are “new lines designed for speeds above 250 km/hr (155 miles per hour) and in some cases, upgraded existing lines for speeds up to 220km/hr (136 miles per hour).” Line 2 will connect Cairo to Abu Simbel (1100 km). Line 1 will connect Ain el Sokhna to Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh (660 km). The project is completely within the African portion of Egypt, and will come in three lines.

The list is based on UIC figures ( International Union of Railways), updated with other sources. It shows all the high speed lines (speed of 200 km/h (120 mph) or over) in service. The following table is an overview of high speed rail in service or under construction by country, ranked by the amount in service. The International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph) for upgraded tracks and 250 km/h (155 mph) or faster for new tracks. This article provides a list of operated high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region.
