membrane-based CO2 capture

Membrane-based CO₂ capture uses specialized filters—called membranes—that selectively allow carbon dioxide molecules to pass through while blocking other gases. This process separates CO₂ from emissions, such as those from power plants or industrial sources, by directing the gas mixture across the membrane. The result is a purified stream of CO₂ for storage or reuse, helping reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Membrane systems are energy-efficient, compact, and adaptable, making them a promising technology for cleaner energy production and industrial processes aiming to lower carbon footprints.
