MTR Carbon Capture Partners with TSMC to Deploy Polaris™ Carbon Capture System in Taiwan
MTR Carbon Capture has signed an agreement with TSMC in Taiwan to sell its state-of-the-art Polaris™ membrane carbon capture system. TSMC will construct this system by the end of 2025 at its newly established Taichung Zero-Waste Manufacturing Center in Taiwan, marking a pivotal step in implementing MTR's innovative technology into TSMC's operations towards reducing carbon footprint.
Joint Project with CTCI to Drive Decarbonization Efforts
This partnership involves a cooperation process with Taiwan's leading EPC firm, CTCI, with the collaboration serving as the first major deployment of MTR's Polaris system in Taiwan and to also help the global semiconductor leader make significant progress toward decarbonization. Future expansions are already planned, with larger Polaris systems set for deployment at additional TSMC sites and waste-to-energy plants in the region.
Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective Carbon Capture Technology
MTR’s Polaris membrane system offers several advantages over traditional carbon capture methods. Unlike solvent-based systems, Polaris does not emit any chemicals, uses very little water, and does not require any heat or steam input, which significantly reduces operational costs. The system is also highly modular and compact, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained environments while also reducing capital expenses.

A Milestone for Clean Technology Deployment in Taiwan
Brett Andrews, President of MTR Carbon Capture, said, “This is an important first step in deploying clean Polaris capture systems in Taiwan to help a global leader like TSMC decarbonize their operations. We look forward to working with TSMC and CTCI to make this project a great success."
Under this agreement, MTR Carbon Capture not only helps TSMC achieve its sustainability goals but also expands its reach within the rapidly expanding global carbon-capture technology market.
