Abstract

Many countries have passed laws to achieve Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) which is a climate action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts. Although there are various technologies to achieve NDC targets, membrane technologies pose dramatical attractions for the purification of gaseous greenhouse gases or energy sources. Therefore, this review will provide the technological trends of polymeric membranes among various materials due to the advantages of the feasible fabrication process and easy scale-up.

대부분의 국가들은 온실가스 배출량을 줄이고 기후변화에 적응하기 위한 행동계획인 NDC (National Determined Contribution)를 법률화 했다. NDC 목표 달성을 위해 다양한 기술이 개발되고 있으며, 특히 가스상의 온실가스나 에너지원의 정화를 위해 분리막 수요가 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문은 다양한 재료 중 실현 가능한 제조 공정과 쉬운 스케일업의 장점을 가지고 있는 고분자 막의 기술 동향을 제공할 것이다.
