Belfast-based company MOF Technologies has been working on novel technology that can bring down carbon capture costs by as much as 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lowering energy costs is one of the biggest challenges to overcome when it comes to carbon capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And thanks to this team of innovators, that might just be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company\u2019s breakthrough system can reduce energy costs by up to 80%, bringing the price tag down to \u00a313 ($16) and making carbon capture more scalable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vacuum pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology and metal organic framework-based (MOF) filters work together to drive this ultra-efficient system. It works specifically to target, capture and cut particular gasses such as CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution is more sustainable than other energy-intensive amine solvent-based systems, which release 3.1 GI of energy for every ton of CO2 captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary motive of this technology is to create feasible carbon-intensive industries that can cut carbon at a high rate while running operations smoothly at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its first production has been seen in high emission industries such as biofuel, hydrogen, and concrete oil manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim is to achieve the ultimate goal of decarbonization by raising awareness on an industry level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MOF Technologies is now working on building an in-field pilot plant for further optimization of its prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This game-changing system called Nuada makes every other carbon capture project worth a shot for investors. It also allows industries to keep running their operations without worrying about carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This approach is still better than many alternatives that are still a ways behind in the race to reach net zero targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
