How MOF adsorbents capture CO₂ at low temperature and release it with less heat, and why that lowers the energy cost of every cycle.
Applications
Capture, then regenerate: the same two steps, whether the stream is a gas or water.
Flue gas passes through a fixed bed. CO₂ stays in the pores and the rest of the stream moves on. Mild heating then releases the CO₂ and readies the bed for the next cycle. Our target is 120 °C or below.
For Cement, energy and heavy industry
The same porous platform aimed at heavy metals and organic contaminants, with an adsorbent designed to be regenerated and reused rather than discarded.
For Environmental technology and industrial water
The cycle
An adsorbent is only useful if it can be emptied. Warming the bed releases the bound CO₂ and frees the sites for the next cycle. The lower that temperature, the less energy each cycle costs. Our target is 120 °C or below.

Compared
Each established option solves part of the problem and leaves another part open.
| Technology | Mechanism | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Amines | High-capacity chemical adsorption | High regeneration energy, solvent degradation and losses, corrosion |
| Activated carbon | Physical adsorption | Low gas selectivity, low capture capacity |
| Zeolites | Physical adsorption | Low gas selectivity, performance loss in humid gas |
| MOF-74 | Binding at open metal sites | What we are developing: high selectivity, mesoporous structure, capture capacity at low temperature |
Validation
Three checks, in the order a project needs them.
Capacity and selectivity under defined conditions.
Behaviour in a packed bed rather than a sample pan.
Performance across repeated capture and regeneration.
