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.
