    Uploaded by

    ththcczd
    This document summarizes a presentation given at the Sixth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture & Sequestration about developing hydrogen transport membranes for pre-combustion carbon capture. It notes that CO2 emissions are expected to rise significantly by 2030 due to increased energy demand. It then describes Eltron Research's goals to develop an affordable hydrogen separation system using dense metal membranes that can retain CO2 at high pressures and temperatures from coal gasifiers. The presentation highlights Eltron's progress in demonstrating membrane performance that meets or exceeds DOE targets, including operating a 1.5 lbs/day pilot plant. It outlines their focus on improving membrane stability and scaling up manufacturing.
