In this study, porous hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via a wet phase inversion process. In order to improve the phase inversion rate and provide porous membranes, 4 wt.% lithium chloride (LiCl) was used in the spinning dope. The prepared membrane morphology was studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Chemical CO 2 absorption by NaOH solution (1M) was conducted through the PVDF hollow fiber membrane contactor. The effect of the main operating condition such as absorbent temperature, CO 2  pressure and absorbent flow rate on the performance of CO 2  absorption was investigated. From FESEM examination, the membrane possesses an almost sponge–like structure with ultra thin skin layer. Results of CO 2 absorption test showed that by increasing the absorbent flow rate the CO 2  flux increased which confirmed the existence of liquid side mass transfer resistance. It was found that by increasing the absorbent temperature the CO 2  flux considerably improved. Meanwhile, the effect of CO 2  pressure on the absorption rate was insignificant. Therefore, it can be concluded that by applying a porous hydrophobic membrane with improved structure and optimizing the operating conditions, high CO 2  removal efficiency can be achieved through gas–liquid membrane contactors
