Explore the potential of customized membrane systems to transform industrial processes and reduce carbon emissions.

Out of all industries, the steel sector contributes with 34.6 % of CO₂ emissions. The increase in CO₂ emission cost to €100/t in February 2022 makes the industry even more interested in applying carbon capture technologies. Currently, carbon capture is limited to a few applications based on chemical adsorption (e.g. monoethanolamine, Selexol or Rectisol). Other available technologies include physical adsorption (pressure or temperature swing adsorption), membrane separation or cryogenic distillation. Membrane technology is proven as an alternative to high energy consuming separation processes (the competing options) and attractive to industrial applications for many reasons, e.g. simple operation, low maintenance cost, relatively low capital cost and small physical footprint. Membranes with high CO₂ permeance play an important role in reducing the capital cost and energy consumption for CO₂ capture.
