Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. announced the launch of a new carbon capture pilot in collaboration with voestalpine. Optiperm™ carbon is a breakthrough carbon capture technology that unlocks low cost, low energy, fully electrified, poison-resistant and chemicals-free point source carbon capture.
Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. (CMS), a pioneer in separation solutions for low carbon intensity processes, is pleased to announce the launch of a new carbon capture pilot in collaboration with voestalpine. This project will further demonstrate the effectiveness of CMS’ technology in capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes in hard-to-abate industries.
CMS met voestalpine after participating in the Verbund X accelerator in late 2022. “The Verbund X accelerator has been a tremendous experience and was an excellent way to meet industrial players who are taking practical steps for near-term decarbonization” says Erica Nemser, CEO of CMS.
Under the agreement, CMS will deploy Optiperm™ Carbon membrane technology in a bench and field rig that will capture process flue gas from voestalpine’s powerplant. The pilot will be deployed in Q4 of 2023 and operate at voestalpine’s Linz site in Austria. It will demonstrate the technology’s effectiveness in a real-world industrial setting, paving the way for possible subsequent phases involving larger-scale demonstrations.
