With over 25 years in the rail industry and 10 years in sustainable tech development, along with numerous issued patents, Eric is committed to pioneering scalable, high-impact climate solutions. As the CEO and Founder of CO₂Rail Company, he leads a team dedicated to developing and deploying the world’s first carbon-negative transportation system and other innovative solutions for climate change mitigation.

CO₂Rail is developing specially designed rail cars that seamlessly integrate into existing freight and passenger trains, equipped with innovative technology that harnesses currently wasted regenerative braking energy. This enables both cost-effective diesel locomotive decarbonization through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and commercially viable Direct Air Capture (DAC) for ambient air Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR).

By leveraging the vast global rail network, extensive infrastructure, and a well-established manufacturing base, CO₂Rail drives efficient climate solutions at the scale required to achieve meaningful reductions in atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. This scalable solution has the potential to remove over one gigaton of CO₂ annually, using only the regenerative braking energy already produced within the global rail ecosystem. By transforming rail into a key tool for global decarbonization, CO₂Rail aims to deliver scalable, commercially viable, and impactful climate solutions that make both environmental and economic sense.

Having published a breakthrough research paper in the prestigious journal Joule and secured multiple partnerships with rail operators, energy companies, and other commercial stakeholders, CO₂Rail is well-positioned to bring its proprietary technology to the climate change fight.
