Over 34 billion tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere annually worldwide, 73.2 % from the energy sector by burning fossil fuels. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming, which is why the UK government as part of the Net Zero UN Coalition have set a target for all sectors to decarbonise to reach net zero targets by 2050\.The AMAZE project will produce a high-volume commercial filtration media that will capture CO2 at the point of source. Offering a game-changing innovation to the Carbon Capture (CC) market with higher adsorption capacity, and lower regeneration energy requirements.Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are highly functional chemicals that can be tailored to capture CO2 more efficiently and requiring less energy to be regenerated. Being a powder, the challenge is that they need to be supported on a highly breathable substrate so they can be reused.Nanofibres are 500x smaller than a human hair and collectively produce porous non-woven sheets. With extremely high surface areas and the ability to carry particles like MOFs, nanofibres are perfectly suited to the task. MOF-loaded nanofibres will revolutionise the current approaches to CO2 capture with a universal filter which offers a low-cost, high-efficiency alternative to current systems.The International Energy Agency (IEA) has highlighted Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage as a priority action in their Roadmap to Net Zero by 2050\. Carbon capture reduces the CO2 produced during industry by capturing it before is enters the atmosphere. This captured CO2 then gets bottled up and either transported for permanent storage, or processed into a useful product, like plastics, chemicals, or new fuel.Traditionally, capturing the carbon can be an energy-intensive process with chemicals that are hard to dispose of when depleted, which often defeats the original environmental goals. Innovation and increased adoption of new and existing technology is needed to reach Net Zero goals. novoMOF (Switzerland) a pioneer and manufacturer of MOFs, and NanoLayr (UK) a developer and manufacturer of nanofibres; are integrating these two technologies to bring transformation to the Carbon Capture market and produce a commercial MOF-loaded nanofibre sheet. The resulting sheets will be directly applicable to current high-volume air filters, meaning they can be used to stop CO2 from entering the atmosphere without any major infrastructure being needed. This cheap, low-energy solution has the potential to have a huge impact on the planet's carbon problem.

全世界每年有超过340亿吨的二氧化碳排放到大气中，其中73.2%来自能源部门燃烧化石燃料。二氧化碳是一种温室气体，会导致全球变暖，这就是为什么英国政府作为联合国净零联盟的一部分，为所有部门设定了一个目标，到2050年实现净零目标。AMAZE项目将生产一种大容量的商业过滤介质，可以在源头捕获二氧化碳。为碳捕集（CC）市场提供改变游戏规则的创新，具有更高的吸附能力和更低的再生能源要求。金属有机框架（MOFs）是高功能化学品，可定制以更有效地捕集CO2，并需要更少的再生能源。纳米纤维是一种粉末，挑战在于它们需要支撑在高度透气的基材上，以便重复使用。纳米纤维比人的头发小500倍，共同产生多孔非织造布。纳米纤维具有极高的表面积和携带MOFs等颗粒的能力，非常适合这项任务。MOF负载的纳米纤维将彻底改变目前的二氧化碳捕集方法，其通用过滤器提供了一种低成本，高效率的替代现有系统。国际能源署（IEA）强调碳捕集，利用和储存是其2050年净零路线图的优先行动。碳捕获通过在进入大气之前捕获工业过程中产生的二氧化碳来减少二氧化碳。这些捕获的二氧化碳然后被装瓶并运输永久储存，或加工成有用的产品，如塑料，化学品或新燃料。传统上，捕获碳可能是一个能源密集型的过程，其中化学品在耗尽时很难处理，这通常会破坏最初的环境目标。要实现净零排放目标，需要创新并更多地采用新技术和现有技术。novoMOF（瑞士）是MOFs的先驱和制造商，NanoLayr（英国）是纳米纤维的开发商和制造商;正在整合这两种技术，为碳捕集市场带来转型，并生产商业MOFs负载纳米纤维板。由此产生的片材将直接适用于当前的大容量空气过滤器，这意味着它们可以用来阻止二氧化碳进入大气，而不需要任何主要的基础设施。这种廉价、低能耗的解决方案有可能对地球的碳问题产生巨大影响。
