Efficient and safe transport
Why CO₂ transport by rail is important and necessary
Carbon dioxide is a key raw material for numerous industries, from the food industry to the chemical industry. Demand is increasing, while pressure is growing to make transportation more sustainable. Rail offers clear advantages here: it reduces road congestion, lowers emissions, and enables safe, high-volume transport.
CO₂ transport by rail means:
Up to 70% lower emissions in rail freight transport compared to trucks
Integration into climate-friendly supply chains
Scalable solutions for the growing CCSU projects in Europe
OUR SOLUTION
