Carbon Capture

Collaborating with The University of Queensland, Zeotech has supported an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowship to fund research that is investigating the development of zeolitic nanocomposite membranes for carbon capture.

The research into tailor-made membranes will develop a multi-scale modelling approach to design polymer-adsorbent nanocomposites for greenhouse gas recovery from flue gas.

The project’s innovative approach has the potential to expedite the evaluation of suitable membrane materials that could considerably reduce the experimental effort required to target adoption of this technology.

Zeotech is a Partner Organisation in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Green Electrochemical Transformation of Carbon Dioxide. This project is linked to the Company’s Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowship, and will aim to implement a powerful, computational, multiscale approach for the design of polymer-zeolite composite membranes for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide.

Carbon Utilisation

Zeotech is an industry partner in the Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Centre for the Global Hydrogen Economy.

The Company is collaborating with the University of Queensland to investigate the development of metal-based zeolites to be deployed as catalysts in a hydrogenation process, which could utilise captured CO₂ to produce value-add products such as syngas and hydrocarbon fuels using renewable energy.
