Transformation to Ardent and Focus on Decarbonization
The company, formerly known as Compact Membrane Systems, has undergone a significant transformation to become Ardent, which emphasizes its dedication to decarbonization and climate technology. This shift involved repositioning the company’s focus solely on developing membranes that facilitate point source carbon capture, which is distinct from direct air capture. The decision to rebrand and concentrate on carbon capture arose from recognizing the market demand for scalable solutions that can address concentrated greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources. This reorientation has allowed Ardent to leverage its 30 years of expertise in membrane technology while aligning with the urgent need for industrial decarbonization solutions.
