Seiko Epson, the Japanese electronics company, is developing a small carbon capture unit roughly the size of an office printer. The device uses membrane separation technology to extract carbon dioxide from industrial emissions, which can then be recycled into synthetic fuels. Commercial release is expected in 2028.
Uses 10-nanometer for compact, efficient CO₂ capture
According to Japan’s Nikkei, Epson leveraged its expertise in inkjet printer component manufacturing to design a system capable of separating and capturing CO₂. The key lies in a specialized 10-nanometer membrane.
