The result is a share of 25.8% (short-term) to 39.3% (long-term) of all employed persons in
Austria who could in principle work from home on a permanent or temporary basis.
By overestimating the work-related passenger kilometers, this results in a
savings potential of about 300 kilotons of CO2 equivalents per year, if about a quarter of all employed persons in Austria work from home for 40 % of the working time (or 2 out of 5 working days).
Due to undesirable rebound effects, such as an increasing distance
between home and work, induced traffic as a result of freed-up capacity, or increased
capacities or increased leisure mobility, this potential can increase to 90 kilotons of
CO2 equivalents per year.
