About: A new way to capture CO2 from low-temperature steam. This process utilizes a highly porous material known as a metal-organic framework (MOF) that has been modified with amine molecules containing nitrogen. This allows for more CO2 to be captures from low temperature steam. This method has a six times greater capacity for removing CO2 from flue gas than current amine technology.

Application: Industrial Capture

Type: Post-Combustion

Utilization: Geologic Storage

Location: Berkeley, California
