Area of Interest 1: MEMBRANES Membrane-based capture uses permeable or semi-permeable materials that allow for the selective transport/separation of CO2 from flue gas. Key technical challenges to the use of membranes to capture CO2 from coal-fired power plant flue gas include: (1) large flue gas volume; (2) relatively low CO2 concentration (less than 15% by volume); (3) low flue gas pressure (i.e., driving force); (4) flue gas contaminants (e.g., SO2, trace elements, uncollected flyash); and (5) the need for high membrane surface area.
