Traditionally, the storage and transportation of natural gas requires either 1) high-compression at 250 bar (CNG), or 2) liquefaction at -162 °C (LNG). Both these methods are energy-intensive and costly. A third much cheaper option uses a porous material to enable gas to be adsorbed at the molecular level at lower pressures. Immaterial designs and manufactures porous metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Our MOFs enable the efficient storage of gas without the need for high compression or liquefaction. In doing so, we are able to drive enormous savings in the transportation and storage of natural gas. Innovate UK funding will enable this project to assess the technical feasibility of an industrial-scale process for the synthesis of high-value MOF materials.

传统上，天然气的储存和运输需要1）250 bar的高压缩（CNG），或2）-162 °C的液化（LNG）。这两种方法都是能源密集型和昂贵的。第三种便宜得多的选择是使用多孔材料，使气体能够在分子水平上在较低的压力下被吸附。非物质设计和制造多孔金属有机框架（MOFs）。我们的MOFs可实现气体的高效储存，无需高度压缩或液化。通过这样做，我们能够在天然气的运输和储存方面节省大量资金。Innovate UK的资助将使该项目能够评估高价值MOF材料合成的工业规模工艺的技术可行性。
