Carbon Capture Using Post-Combustion Membranes Fundamentals
About the eLearning Course
This eLearning course offers a comprehensive overview of post-combustion CO2
capture, with a focus on polymeric membranes. You will learn about the basic
characteristics of the post-combustion capture approach and its importance in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources. The course covers
the challenges of selectively removing CO2 from flue gas, which contains various
other gases and impurities. It delves into the operating principles of CO2
separation using polymeric membranes, explaining how these membranes
selectively allow CO2 to pass through while blocking other gases. It addresses
the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of membrane capture, assessing the
maturity and commercial viability of these technologies.
Target Audience
This series provides a wide-ranging overview of CO₂ capture. It is suitable for
interested parties, such as environmental staff, facilities engineers, and gas
processing engineers, including entry-level (1-2 year) engineers, or anyone
interested in a general, technically oriented overview of this approach to
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation.
