Reading through some sites, 0.5kcal/h seems to be average that when biking leisurely on a normal bike.
700cal/h would mean that you could cycle for 300h with 500ml of coca cola.
Do you even talk about the same units? Sometimes kilocalories get colloquially called calories, but there is a difference of factor 1000.
Here in Germany Coca Cola has on their nutrition list 180kJ or 42kcal per 100ml. That’s 42000 calories for a fifth of a small bottle coke (500ml).
0.5kcal really isn’t much.

Reading a few articles about this, it seems a big concern is area. They wanna squeeze them in every free space they have between and around roads. Conveyor belts can probably do a lot sharper curves etc. than railways. If they do special small rails, they’ll also need special trains for that.
From the articles it’s also not clear if it’s from one point to another point or from multiple to multiple. They talk about deliveries, which would rather be multi to multi, but it’s not explicitly mentioned anywhere.
