Transport emissions could double their current relative net contribution to global warming by 2100, according to a new study by researchers at the Oslo-based Centre for International Climate and Environment Research (CICERO) in Norway. Road transport gives the largest contribution and will most likely continue to do so in the future.

Unlike conventional membrane processes where the transport proceeds down the concentration gradient, the electrically-driven membrane process can up-grade the concentration; this system has been commercialised for use in the purification of hydrogen. In addition, this process runs continuously, and is easy to scale up.
