CO₂ Capture Breakthroughs: Advanced Materials and Mega-Projects to Pull Carbon from Air and Industry

In 2024 atmospheric CO2 reached about 426 parts per million, roughly 50% higher than pre-industrial levels. UC Berkeley researchers developed a zinc hydride MOF called ZnH-MFU-4_l that can capture CO₂ from hot flue gas at 300°C with over 90% efficiency, enabling potential

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Sponge-Like Crystals Poised to Transform Carbon Capture, Clean Energy and More

MOFs hold a world-record internal surface area of up to about 7,000 m^2 per gram, with theoretical designs up to 14,600 m^2/g. Over roughly 20 years researchers have created nearly 90,000 unique MOF structures, with hundreds of thousands more predicted by theory.
