EU GRAMOFON project ends after 42 months with promising results on CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

During the 42-month project, innovative materials and efficient systems for capturing CO 2 from post-combustion industrial emissions were developed. In particular, materials such as modified-graphene aerogels and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown very good CO 2 capture capacities and greater selectivity than traditional adsorbents.

Satellite method provides insight into ozone-NOx-VOCs sensitivity for different locations

Green Car Congress

It is formed through complex chemical reactions initiated by sunlight and involving two types of gases, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). With the industrial growth of the last decade, the results in China outside the major cities show an increase in areas transitioning to being controlled by VOC amounts.
