Special Notice ENERGY, DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY Innovative Carbon Capture Membranes from Low Concentration CO2 Emission Sources
The Department of Energy is offering a technology licensing opportunity for innovative carbon capture membranes from low concentration CO2 emission sources. These membranes are used for efficient carbon dioxide enrichment and separation from air and other low concentration sources. The material is defect-free, self-guttering, durable, and manufacturable with very high selectivity for carbon dioxide over nitrogen. By eliminating pinholes and enhancing membrane performance, the cost of captured CO2 could be reduced by more than 50%. The technology is currently at TRL 3 and undergoing proof-of-concept work. Companies interested in this licensing opportunity should contact Andrew Rankin at td@inl.gov.
