Rail-Based, Self-Powered Direct Air Carbon Capture

“Rail-Based, Self-Powered Direct Air Carbon Capture”
Tweet
The Co2Rail System deploys proven technology for the Direct Air Capture of man-made Carbon Dioxide gas from the environment. It powers itself utilizing only no-carbon, onboard hybrid, regenerative braking energy generated from already running Trains in regular service and Railcar mounted solar cells.
“CO2Rail is poised to revolutionize carbon capture…”
Advanced Science News – November, 2021 Link
“I believe CO2Rail is one of the few approaches to CDR that has a chance of succeeding as it looks at a system rather than an individual operation.”
Peter Styring – Professor of Chemical Engineering & Chemistry at The University of Sheffield

Hybrid Self-Powered
Clean, no-carbon, hybrid, regenerative braking energy generated from stopping or slowing an entire Train many times per day powers the carbon capture process.
Solar Cells mounted atop some of the Train’s compatible railcars will add additional no-carbon energy to use in carbon capture (Future).
Efficient Operation
Co2Rail cars harvest many magnitudes more CO₂ than is indirectly emitted by the Locomotives in fuel from their operation in additional Train Loading, Aerodynamic Drag and Rolling Resistance.
