What they do

Their core work

Marion Technologies is a French SME specializing in advanced ceramic materials and their industrial applications, particularly membrane technologies and additive manufacturing. They develop ceramic components for gas separation, CO2 capture, and energy conversion systems. Their core competence lies in translating ceramic material science into functional industrial products — filters, membranes, and 3D-printed ceramic parts — serving both the energy and manufacturing sectors.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

Ceramic membranes and filters for gas separationprimary
3 projects

Central to MEMERE (membrane reactors), MEMBER (CO2 capture membranes), and GICO (ceramic filters for gasification).

GICO project involves inorganic sorbents, tar catalysts, and oxygen separation — expanding beyond membranes into broader functional materials.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Membrane reactors and nano-manufacturing
Recent focus
CO2 capture materials and ceramics 3D-printing

In the early period (2015–2018), Marion Technologies focused on membrane reactor technology and nano-enabled industrial manufacturing — essentially applying advanced ceramics to established industrial processes. From 2018 onward, their work shifted decisively toward CO2 capture materials (sorbents, mixed matrix membranes, metal organic frameworks) and ceramics 3D-printing, signaling a dual bet on decarbonization technologies and digital manufacturing methods. This evolution shows a company moving from component supplier toward higher-value materials engineering for the energy transition.

Marion Technologies is converging on advanced ceramic materials for decarbonization — expect future work at the intersection of 3D-printed ceramics and carbon capture systems.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European13 countries collaborated

Marion Technologies operates exclusively as a participant, never coordinating — consistent with a specialist SME that contributes deep technical capabilities to larger consortia rather than managing projects. With 58 unique partners across 13 countries in just 5 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia (averaging 12+ partners per project). This broad partner network suggests they are sought after for their specific materials expertise rather than building tight repeat-partner clusters.

With 58 unique partners across 13 countries from only 5 projects, Marion Technologies has built a remarkably wide European network for an SME of its size. Their partnerships span well beyond France, indicating strong recognition of their ceramic materials expertise across multiple research communities.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Marion Technologies occupies a rare niche: an SME that bridges advanced ceramic material science with real industrial production, including 3D-printing capabilities. While many research groups study ceramic membranes in the lab, Marion brings manufacturing know-how to turn those materials into usable components for energy and industrial applications. For consortium builders, they offer a credible path from material design to pilot-scale production — exactly the kind of partner needed to demonstrate exploitation potential in EU proposals.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • DOC-3D-PRINTING
    A Marie Curie training network dedicated to ceramics additive manufacturing — positions Marion Technologies at the frontier of digital fabrication for advanced materials.
  • MEMERE
    Their highest-funded project (EUR 354,564) on integrated membrane reactors for methane activation — core to their membrane technology expertise.
  • GICO
    Their most recent project (2020–2024) combining gasification with CO2 capture and conversion, showing their evolution toward decarbonization technologies.
Cross-sector capabilities
Energy — ceramic membranes for gas separation and CO2 captureEnvironment — carbon capture, storage, and utilization materialsResearch training — hosting doctoral researchers in ceramics 3D-printingChemical engineering — catalysts, sorbents, and reactor components
Analysis note: Good data density for an SME with 5 projects. Keyword data is only available for the recent period, so early-period characterization relies on project titles and sectors rather than explicit keywords. The ceramic/membrane expertise thread is very clear and consistent across all projects.
