Breakthrough Membrane Technology Captures CO2 Using Humidity

Newcastle University researchers develop an energy-efficient method for direct air capture, crucial for climate goals.

  • The membrane leverages humidity differences to capture and concentrate CO2 from the air.
  • This method addresses energy and kinetic challenges in separating dilute CO2 concentrations.
  • The technology could provide a sustainable source of CO2 for various applications.
  • Collaborative efforts from multiple institutions contributed to this advancement.
  • Direct air capture is essential for achieving the 1.5 °C target set by the Paris Agreement.
