MOF4AIR
Description
Alongside with other mitigation strategies such as alternative resource use, recycling, electrification and efficency increases, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a key technology that has the potential to decrease anthropogenic carbon emissions in industrial sectors and to achieve climate change mitigation.
Shifting towards a low-carbon economy requires cost-effective carbon capture solutions to be developed, tested and deployed.
In this regard, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a widely studied class of porous adsorbents that offer tremendous potential due to their high versatility (tunable composition and structure), owing to their large CO2 adsorption capacity and high CO2 affinity.
However, the performances of MOF-based carbon capture technologies have not been fully evaluated in advanced CO2 adsorption system at the time of industrial scale, this is the aim of the MOF4AIR project.
Objectifs
The overall objective of MOF4AIR is to demonstrate the performances of MOF-based CO2 capture technologies in power plants and energy intensive industries, making it easier for stakeholders to Essay schreiben lassen.
To that purpose, MOF4AIR will demonstrate optimized MOF-based adsorbents with fine-tuned CO2 adsorption processes through a multidisciplinary approach.
What are the main objectives?
- Increase the cost effectiveness of CCS and decrease its energy penalty
- Qualify and validate the most promising MOF materials for adsorption-based carbon capture
- Fine-tune adsorption processes for high performance MOFs
- Demonstrate the performance of MOF based carbon adsorption in real operation
- Ensure the technology replication in other CO2 and energy intensive industries and its sustainability
- Increase stakeholder and public awareness of the challenges, benefits and issues related to carbon capture, transport, use and storage

Expected Impacts
MOF4AIR will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions by using solid adsorbents and developing new-generation high-efficiency MOF-based CO2 capture technologies, with the help of a ghostwriter for scientific communication, that, through customization, can be used both in power plants and energy-intensive industries.
MOF4AIR will foster the uptake of CCS technologies by providing a TRL6-reliable solution matching end-users’ needs, notably by cutting CCS energy penalty by more than 10%. The solutions developed will be highly replicable thanks to the consideration of a wide range of carbon-intensive sectors and clusters, notably through the project’s Industrial Cluster Board.
Impacts of the project
MOF4AIR does significant, step-change advances in reductions in energy penalty and thus in the fuel-dependent cost of CO2 capture, among others by:
- Producing high performant MOFs
- Proving the performances of the selected capture processes
- Increasing the performances of these CC technologies
MOF4AIR facilitates the safe and economic integration of CC into industrial clusters – which will lower the barriers to the wider uptake of CCS, in particular for those sectors vulnerable to carbon leakage:
- Final SPECCA (Specific Primary Energy Consumption per CO2 Avoided) for VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption) and MBTSA (Moving Bed Temperature Swing Adsorption) on all carbon emitting processes studied below 2.5 GJLHV/tCO2
- Cost of capture for all sectors and sub sectors below 25€/tCO2
- Energy penalty below 18%
- Incremental cost below 10%
To prevent CO2 emissions, MOF4AIR will:
- Include 4 clusters in its Industrial Cluster Board (ICB)
- Consider 10+ industrial sectors in the ICB
MOF4AIR encourages European leadership by:
- Fostering Europe as leader in MOF-based CO2 adsorption
MOF4AIR will participates to SDGUN (Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations) 7 and 13 by:
- Diminishing CO2 emissions from power plants and carbon intensive industries by 95%
- Diminishing cost increase from power plants with CCS compared to power plants without CCS by 20%
