In Japan, Toray Industries, Inc., has made significant progress in a one-year trial with an all-carbon carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane separation membrane to remove carbon dioxide and moisture at the biogas production facility of a customer’s sewage plant in Osaka Prefecture. The company confirmed that moisture removal costs with this technology are around 70% lower than those of existing technologies.
Toray looks to apply this technology beyond biogas to include streamlining natural gas purification, CO₂ separation and capture from industrial exhaust gases, and carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage.
