E. Bachman, Alexandra Tavasoli, T. Alan Hatton, Christos T. Maravelias, Erik Haites, Peter Styring, Alán Aspuru-Guzik, Jeffrey MacIntosh, Geoffrey Ozin IN: Joule Vol 6 (7), pp. 1368-1381, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2022.06.025

The paper presents a technology for deploying specially designed, self-contained DAC railcars on both diesel and electrified rail lines outfitted with battery arrays, CO2 direct air capture systems, compression equipment, and ancillary gear that uniquely exploits the substantial sustainable energy generated on-board the train through regenerative braking as well as from solar panels mounted on compatible railcars.
