UC Berkeley chemists created the first such carbon-capture MOF in 2015, and subsequent versions have proved even more efficient at removing carbon dioxide from flue gases, such as those from a coal-fired power plant. The best carbon capture technique today involves piping flue gases through liquid amines, which bind CO 2.
