About
CO2Rail Company is a US-based start-up founded in 2020 developing rail-based, self-powered direct air capture technology using the global rail network, purpose-built rail equipment, and sustainable train-generated regenerative braking energy with no external energy inputs required. Headquartered in Texas, the company was co-founded by Eric Bachman and has collaborated with researchers from the University of Toronto, MIT, Princeton, and University of Sheffield on a 2022 Joule paper. The website remains live but no significant 2024-2025 funding or deployment milestones were found.
