5 Key Areas Metal-Organic Frameworks Can Help Decarbonize

According to IEA's 2023 update to its net zero roadmap, carbon capture technologies, more efficient space cooling equipment, and clean energy transitions are all cornerstones of achieving net zero by 2050 and limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Emerging technologies utilizing metal-organic framework (MOF) materials for carbon capture, refrigerant reclamation, direct lithium extraction, HVAC equipment, and various other chemical separations and purification processes can see the advent of disruptive next-generation technologies that are essential for industrial decarbonization.

Montana Technologies: MOF-Based AWH and HVAC Technology

Montana Technologies is a US-based company that has developed AirJoule, its MOF-based atmospheric water harvesting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology.

Taxiing For Takeoff: The Promise of eVTOLs

Flying cars are very easy to hype. Most images of the future almost always include mass mobility in the air. It is one of the staples of any depiction of advanced modern societies and a trope of almost every science fiction movie or book (however dystopian). It is an exciting time where the level of technological advancement is reaching the stage of making electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft a feasible reality.

Analog Photonics

Founded by Dr Michael R. Watts (MIT) as a spin out from MIT, Analog Photonics was doing R&D on silicon photonics in partnership with MIT and commercialised an optical phased array (OPA) beam steering module in 2019

Stratio Inc

Stratio has developed an innovative approach to reducing the cost of manufacturing short-wave infra-red image sensors by using germanium rather than indium gallium arsenide as the photo-sensitive material. It has also developed a range of products that demonstrate its key value proposition of affordable, portable, and versatile optical measuring devices.

Will the Return of Major Players Drive the Growth of the SOFC Market?

Following several decades of research and development, fuel cells are beginning to enable the promise of low-emission power generation, with specific success seen for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC).

How Long Until Small Modular Reactors Make an Impact on Energy Grids?

By taking advantage of assembly line production, SMRs promise cost reductions and shorter construction times relative to their conventional counterparts. The first nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) are already operational in Russia and China, but widening adoption will require both technical and regulatory developments, including development in fuel supply chains and international licensing standardization.
