Model Nuada -Ultra Energy Efficient Carbon Capture.

SHARE

Nuada, by MOF Technologies, is the next generation of carbon capture technology, delivering energy efficient and cost-effective CO2 captureWe’ve harnessed the high-capacity, super-selective nature of MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) and engineered our very own ultra-energy efficient system to capture CO2 from flue gas. By overcoming the energy and cost barriers that have long held it back, Nuada will make carbon capture commercially viable turbo-charging our path to net-zero. MOF Technologies` Nuada carbon capture technology is being backed by cement industry leaders, such as Heidelberg Cement, for the Global Cement & Concrete Association`s Innovandi Open Challenge, to decarbonise the concrete value chain.

By using pressure instead of heat to release the captured CO2, Nuada cuts energy consumption by up to 80% versus state-of-the-art amine scrubbing solutions. This is achieved by combining mature vacuum swing technology with a novel high-capacity MOF material. 

Nuada operates via vacuum swing adsorption, a separation technology that is widely used at commercial scale in the oil and gas industry. Nuada is a combination of proven, mature technology, and a ground-breaking sorbent material, applied to point-source carbon capture. 

Having pioneered the commercialisation of MOF-based solutions for over a decade, MOF Technologies has established an industry-leading, fully integrated process to product development. This know-how has enabled the in-house creation of the Nuada carbon capture technology, whilst simultaneous upscaling the MOF to tonne quantities.


Having participated in multiple European Union-funded projects, aimed at delivering carbon removal solutions, we knew that the main aspect holding back the adoption of CCUS is energy-efficiency. We have now overcome this challenge using our decade of experience in producing, scaling and integrating MOFs.

Due to the way that CO2 sticks to our Nuada MOF, our carbon capture system exploits pressure rather than heat to recover CO2. The associated energy saving of 80% creates considerable cost benefits.

Taking a cement plant as an example, using the energy benefit of Nuada versus an amine system, could create a saving of nearly $1bn across the plant’s lifetime.
