Symposium for Innovative CO2 Membrane Separation Technology - Recent trends of membrane separation technology contributing to the prevention of global warming -, Tokyo, 2 February 2015

  Since Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) has a large effect on reductions of green house gas emission into the air, etc., it is expected to be one of the important options for global warming measures. Molecular Gate Membrane Module Technology Research Association is conducting a project entrusted by METI to develop a low-cost innovative CO2 separation membrane for high-pressured gas from IGCC, etc., which is considered a promising candidate for the efficient coal gasification power generation ("CO2 Separation Membrane Module R&D Project").
  In this symposium, we would like to inform people with latest information on CO2 separation by reporting recent research trends of CO2 separation membrane technologies, which the Association has been developing, and introducing the overview of the CO2 separation membrane technologies development in overseas,.
