Global warming is very alarming. CCUS is one of the most cost-effective solutions available to reduce emissions from some industrial and fuel transformation processes.
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage with Membranes
Membrane Separation CCUS technology
​
-
The membrane separation process is to separate the CO2 from gas mixture by using polymer membrane. It consume less energy so that cost is cheaper than other types of CCUS.
-
Based on polymeric or inorganic devices (membranes) with high CO2 selectivity, which let CO2 pass through but act as barriers to retain the other gases in the gas stream.

​CCUS (Carbon capture, utilization and storage)
​
-
CCUS captures CO2 from power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass for fuel.
-
The captured CO2 is compressed and transported by pipeline, ship, rail or truck to be used in a range of applications, or injected into deep geological formations (including depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline formations) which trap the CO2 for permanent storage.
-
The global CO2 emissions from the energy sector fall to zero on a net basis by 2070. In 2070, 10.4 Gt of CO2 is captured from across the energy sector.

The Paris Climate Agreement
​
-
The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
