We are very excited to announce a major update on Project MONET (MOF-based Negative Emissions Technology), our ground-breaking carbon capture project demonstrating the performance of our metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in adsorbing carbon dioxide from a real-world flue gas stream!
We’ve now seen the delivery and installation of our demonstration unit at the Drax Group power station in Selby, UK, where it will be used to capture CO2 from their biomass-based flue gas stream. An initial capture rate of 0.5-1.0 tonnes of CO2 per day is targeted, with the Promethean Particles team aiming to increase this as the trial progresses.
As well as working closely with Drax in Project MONET, Promethean is supported by the University of Nottingham who is conducting a lifecycle assessment and technoeconomic analysis of MOF-based carbon capture. The project is funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero as part of Call 2 of its CCUS Innovation 2.0 competition.
“Today represents a really exciting and important milestone in one of our flagship demonstration projects,” said James Stephenson, chief executive officer of Promethean Particles. “Demonstrating real-world application performance is critical on our path to unleashing the power of MOFs. We are extremely grateful to Drax for their continued support, and to our other project partners and collaborators. We look forward to seeing the results over the coming months.”
