Where Emissions Are Hardest to Eliminate
From steel and chemicals to aviation and shipping, many industries still depend on fossil feedstocks and centralized production assets.
Many industries still rely on fossil feedstocks and centralized assets, making emissions hard to cut at scale.
Their emissions remain difficult to abate because current alternatives are often costly, energy-intensive, or not yet scalable.
ZEFIRA bridges this gap with modular process systems that combine advanced membranes and plasma modules.

01
Steel, Chemical, and Refining Industries
ZEFIRA enables circular use of process gases in some of the world’s toughest industrial environments.
Its high-resistance carbon membranes recover hydrogen and CO₂ from blast-furnace and DRI off-gases, ammonia and methanol synthesis loops, and refinery off-gases — where heat, pressure, and impurities challenge conventional materials.
By recycling these molecules within existing process loops, ZEFIRA helps cut emissions, reduce hydrogen demand, and improve overall conversion efficiency across steelmaking, chemical, and refining operations.

Aviation & Shipping
Aviation and maritime transport need drop-in fuels that cut carbon without changing engines or infrastructure.
ZEFIRA’s membrane technology supports both Power-to-X and bio-based routes to renewable methanol, dimethyl ether (DME), and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
For SAF, our technology acts as a key enabler for Fischer–Tropsch and alcohol-to-jet pathways, helping industry bring defossilized fuels to market faster and at lower cost.

Biogas & Waste Valorisation
Biogas and waste-derived gases represent one of the largest and most underutilised renewable-carbon markets, driven by agriculture, waste management, and local energy production. However, their decentralised nature, variable composition, and limited scale often prevent efficient valorisation beyond simple energy use.
ZEFIRA addresses this gap by enabling local upgrading and conversion of CO₂-rich biogas into higher-value products such as syngas and renewable feedstocks for fuels and chemicals, including methanol and DME.
By supporting on-site, modular conversion routes, ZEFIRA helps unlock new revenue streams from biogenic resources while reducing transport, emissions, and dependence on centralised fossil-based infrastructure.

Feasibility and simulation studies
ZEFIRA starts with process-level feasibility and simulation studies to assess performance, integration constraints, and decarbonization potential. Using detailed process models and techno-economic analysis, we quantify energy savings, conversion gains, and integration pathways before any hardware is built.
