The NANOMEMC₂ has just released its first newsletter. The project is a research and innovation action of Horizon 2020 funded under the topic LCE-24-2016 “International cooperation with South Korea on new generation high-efficiency capture processes”. It aims at reducing the cost, energy and process limitations which currently make pre and post-combustion CO₂ capture processes non-viable in many industrial applications. Through the development of innovative materials, membranes and membrane processes for CO₂ capture, the project aims to make possible a substantial reduction in energy penalty, a much lower cost and a reduction of CO₂ emissions. The first project newsletter focuses on the presentation of the NANOMEMC2 consortium and the role played by all the partners involved. It provides also news about the First EU-South Korea joint Workshop on “New generation high-efficiency capture processes”, which will be held in Trondheim on June 14-15, 2017.
