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, hybrid regenerative braking energy generated from stopping or slowing an entire train many times per day powers the direct air carbon capture processes.
Solar Cells mounted atop some of the Train’s compatible railcars will add additional renewable energy to use in DAC operations (Future).

Dear,
We would like to connect with Eric and the Technical team to offer assistance with the CO2 unloading equipment. Our experience of both AAR and RID equipment could help keep you on track. As the self-proclaimed greenest wagon equipment manufacturer it would be great for us to collaborate.
Regards,
Ashley
