Proven Technology for the Carbon and Hydrogen Economy

ZEFIRA’s carbon-membrane platform delivers industrial-grade performance for CO₂ capture, hydrogen recovery, and fuel synthesis. It provides a modular and scalable foundation for defossilizing critical industrial processes from chemical conversion to renewable-fuel production. ZEFIRA’s carbon membranes act like selective molecular filters letting specific gases such as CO₂, H₂, or H₂O pass while retaining others. This precise control of molecular transport allows cleaner separations and more efficient chemical reactions using less energy and space.

Proven Technology for the Carbon and Hydrogen Economy

ZEFIRA’s carbon-membrane platform delivers industrial-grade CO₂ capture, hydrogen recovery, and fuel synthesis. Its modular, scalable design supports defossilizing key processes—from chemical conversion to renewable-fuel production. Acting as selective filters, the membranes let gases like CO₂, H₂, and H₂O pass while retaining others, enabling cleaner separations and more efficient reactions using less energy and space.

What Makes It Different

Compact, Efficient, Circular

ZEFIRA’s carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes combine high performance, resilience, and sustainability in a single technology:

‒ Extreme chemical stability — tolerant to moisture, sulfur, and organic impurities

‒ Broad operating range — from vacuum to 120 bar and up to 700 °C

‒ Tunable selectivity — adaptable to each gas mixture and process condition

‒ Long-term durability — built without critical raw materials and designed for recyclability

The result: higher yield, lower energy use, and simplified system design compared with conventional separation or reaction units.

Industrial Validation

Proven and Ready for Industry

ZEFIRA’s membrane systems have been validated across leading European industrial demonstration projects, proving their performance under real-world conditions for CO₂ capture, hydrogen recovery, and e-fuel synthesis.

Their durability and efficiency demonstrate the platform’s readiness for full-scale industrial deployment and rapid scale-up — enabling next-generation process intensification for today’s energy and materials sectors.

“We deliver membrane systems designed for industry, not for the lab.”
