Innovative use of Membrane Technology in Mitigation of GHG Emission and Energy Generation

Membrane technology is especially suited for remote locations where utilities are scarce. Membranes are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional amine treatment processes. "The novelty is that instead of using a filter that directly separates CO2 and other molecules, we use a so-called agent. It is a fixed carrier in the membrane that helps to convert the gas we want to remove," says NTNU Professor May-Britt Hagg. She is head of the research group Member for that works on the new membrane technology. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.
