With our membrane
technology,
we significantly
contribute to thetransition to asustainable gas
economy1. Raw biogas from organic waste isconverted into sustainablebiomethane and "green" CO2
2. Our hydrogen extraction
membranes enable to use existing
natural gas pipelines to transportand extract green hydrogenIn the production of synthetic
biomethane from CO2 and greenhydrogen, we ensure efficient
product separation
3. With our anion exchange membrane
DURAION®, we contribute to thebreakthrough of electrolytic
production of green hydrogen in
the future
