Promethean Particles Outlines Growth Plans to Local MP
Staff at Promethean Particles showed Lilian Greenwood, MP for Nottingham South and Minister for the Future of Roads, around its laboratory and its manufacturing facility at Genesis Park, Midland Way. Her visit came just days after the firm announced that it had received £8m of private investment to enable it to scale up its production of materials called MOFs, which stands for metal-organic frameworks. MOFs are tiny crystalline structures which have huge internal surface areas and act like tiny sponges or sieves. They are capable of capturing and storing vast quantities of gas and liquid molecules, where one teaspoon of these incredible materials has the equivalent surface area of two tennis courts. One such gas the Promethean team is...

BEYOND CO2 UPTAKE
Pioneering a Paradigm Shift
Attitudes to climate change are driving more action to implement decarbonisation solutions.
Promethean, through its use of continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis and patented reactor systems, is delivering the materials and technology to meet these demands via MOF-based carbon capture.

Carbon capture
Unprecedented demand
Demand is accelerating for viable, energy-efficient carbon capture solutions. Promethean has already demonstrated its capability to produce MOFs at scale and is now actively developing and demonstrating their use in carbon capture applications. We’re focused on developing cost-effective solutions for hard-to-abate emissions from the power and industrial sectors, but have also seen significant interest in MOFs for direct-air capture applications.
MOFs
Energy-efficient sorbent nanomaterials
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials with incredibly high surface areas, some of which have the ability to preferentially adsorb materials like carbon dioxide. By flowing air or post-combustion gas streams over beds of selected MOFs, carbon dioxide can be selectively removed and later recovered in a controlled manner. Our continuous flow process and patented reactor designs are breaking some of the scale and cost paradigms that have historically held back the use of these incredible materials.
Continuous flow synthesis
Cost-effective, scalable technology
As a world leader in continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis of nanomaterials, Promethean is enabling MOFs to be a viable carbon capture sorbent at an industrial scale, putting us at the forefront of the manufacture of MOFs for carbon capture. We’re uniquely positioned to provide industrial-scale, cost-effective MOFs for carbon capture applications.
