The Membranes group is led by Dr Ferrari and focuses on the development of novel materials and processes for carbon capture using polymeric and composite membranes. ProjectsEPSRC fundedHigh Permeance Membranes for Rapid-Response Retro-fit Carbon CaptureReducing CO2 emissions to reduce global climate change is one of the greatest technological challenges facing humanity. The objective of this research project is to investigate the feasibility of using highly CO2 permeable membranes for carbon capture in order to help achieve the aspirations of the Paris Agreement or, in the event of accelerating climate change, for use in the emergency retrofit of coal-fired power stations.Read moreMulti-scale engineering toolbox for systematic assessment of porous materials in the context of adsorption and membrane separationsRead moreHorizon2020NANOMEMC2The Project NANOMEMC2 aims in overcoming the current limitation focusing on the development of innovative CO2 selective membranes with high flux and selectivity suitable for application to both Pre and Post-combustion Capture processes.Read more Membranes for Carbon Capture process and systems flowchart This article was published on 2026-11-11
