Project Detail
| Objective on the basis of need | 1. Developing a CO2 selective thin-film composite mixed-matrix membrane. 2. Characterization of the synthesize membrane. 3. Study the effect of temperature, pressure and moisture conditions under simulated flue gas conditions. |
| Executive summary of the proposed project (In 250 words) | Countries worldwide are working to reduce carbon emissions, with India pledging to achieve carbon neutrality by 2070. To meet this goal, it is essential to develop indigenous, cost-effective technologies for CO₂ separation from various gas mixtures, including flue gases, given India's heavy reliance on coalfired power plants for electricity generation. This project aims to develop a high-permeance, CO₂- selective membrane using polymers. The synthesized membrane will undergo characterization using various techniques and be tested under different conditions of temperature, pressure, and moisture flow rate. The membrane’s performance should surpass the well-established Robeson upper bound. |
| Technology Readiness Level (If not a new project but an advancement of existing know how) | New Project |
| Outomes or Deliverables | By the end of this project, we expect to develop a thermally stable, high-performance membrane suitable for flue gas separation. The next phase will focus on scaling up the membrane production using continuous roll-to-roll fabrication. Additionally, we anticipate generating one patent and publishing one research paper based on the outcomes of this project. |
| Project aligned with which most relevant UN SDGs | Goal 13 - Climate Action |
| Duration (In years) | 2 years |
| Expected Impact | The proposal will be helpful developing a technology for the carbon capture from industrial flue gas |
| Implementation model (self- implemented/ outsourced partnership) | Self- implemented |
| Total Budget (Recurring +Non-Recurring Expenses) | Rs 80 Lakhs (Rs 80,000,00/-) |
