I can't calculate transport infrastructure lifecycle carbon emissions
You don't really need to, because the market has already done it for you. Price is an excellent first order proxy for aggregate resource depletion, so the cheapest is usually the greenest. If you want to get into the weeds, you should probably adjust for market distorting taxes, subsidies and regulations, but ain't nobody got time for that.

Like oil and gas vs solar and wind

Even when the market is distorted by tax on fuel for one method and not the other?

You know this is nonsense.
CO2 is an externality. Consumption of resources and CO2 production are not the same thing even to first order

It's tricky with today's sail-powered boats. They're very expensive to buy and maintain, but nearly all their fuel is free. They're rich man's toys but sort of green. Things may improve when the cargo shipping industry reverts to wind power https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/wallenius-and-alfa-laval-proceed-with-jv-to-develop-wind-propulsion

I can't crew. I can't cycle to Southampton or Holyhead. I can't calculate transport infrastructure lifecycle carbon emissions. I'm pretty inadequate really.
