How CO2Rail works

Our regenerative braking system converts excess wasted heat energy from a train’s operations into electricity.

Our IP protects our right to use this technology to power a Carbon Capture and DAC system – providing us with significant protections

The energy generated from the braking system is stored in a battery that is housed underneath the rail car.

Our unique airflow system omits the need for traditional fans by leveraging the speed of the train to move 15,000 m³ of air per minute through the system.

Our carbon collection unit is the beating heart of the system. Using liquid-sorbents, we are able to effectively capture and compress carbon from the ambient air and convert it to liquid CO₂.

Finally, the carbon is stored in a 15T cryogenic storage tank.

Unique advantages of CO2Rail

Low investment requirement in infrastructure – compared to other solutions, our system requires minimal investments in large scale infrastructure

Leverages low-cost energy: by tapping into otherwise wasted energy we are able to significant lower the cost of DAC, ultimately aiming for a cost of <$50/ton

Technology agnostic: our platform provides a unique system for various DAC technology, with abundant airflow, low cost and renewable energy, and access to carbon sequestration sites
