2) from offshore oil and gas exhaust streams.
MOFs are a porous material that can be designed at the atomic level for different applications and tuned by changing the size, shape and surface chemistry.
Dr. Michael Katz is an associate professor with the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science.
He has been awarded $655,900 from the offshore research, development and demonstration (RD&D) component of Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) to develop a small-scale filtration system to separate CO
2 from a simulated exhaust stream.
Petroleum Research Newfoundland and Labrador (PRNL) is managing and executing the $33 million offshore RD&D component of the ERF program, which supports projects that advance solutions to decarbonize Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore industry.
