Membravo

ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Reducing waste and energy use across multiple industries with robust polymer membranes—optimizing separation processes in sectors like semiconductors, hydrogen, water purification, biofuels, and pharmaceuticals to improve efficiency, lower costs, and enable more sustainable operations.

PROBLEM FOCUS

Industrial hydrogen processes today are inefficient and carbon intensive. 280M tons of CO₂ emissions annually are unnecessarily generated because hydrogen gets mixed with other gases and cannot be cost-effectively separated by existing technologies, amounting to $36B in wasted hydrogen annually.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Membravo's advanced polymer membranes efficiently separate hydrogen from complex gas mixtures under extreme industrial conditions, including high temperatures and pressures. The technology offers exceptional hydrogen selectivity and permeance, reducing waste by 95% and cutting costs by 50%. Developed with DOE funding, these membranes enable cleaner, more cost-effective hydrogen production, supporting decarbonization across hard-to-abate industries.
