QUB spin-out to commercialize to technique for production of MOFs; storage for natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

Chemists at Queen’s University Belfast (Ireland) have devised a novel environmentally friendly technique which allows the rapid production of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs have the highest surface-areas of any known materials; this incredibly high surface area means that MOFs are very good at storing gases. Pichon et al.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Chemical plants on dedicated platforms then process part of the hydrogen, combining it with nitrogen to make ammonia, or with carbon dioxide to produce substitutes for fossil fuels. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy.
