Arkema Memphis Carbon Capture Project

The Arkema Memphis facility is a hydrogen peroxide production plant using the anthraquinone auto-oxidation process, which requires large volumes of hydrogen produced on-site via steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas. The SMR generates a concentrated CO₂ byproduct stream. The facility appears in FLIGHT's 2023 reporting year with an on-site carbon capture unit tied to its hydrogen production Arkema's January 30, 2025 partnership with Kyoto-based startup OOYOO Ltd. to develop next-generation CO₂-selective gas separation membranes (using Arkema's Pebax®, polyimide, PEKK, and Kynar® PVDF polymer platforms) has no announced deployment site, but Memphis is a plausible pilot candidate for the technology given the existing SMR flue-gas stream and operational capture infrastructure already in place.
