MORSE - MOFs for Reduction of Ship Emissions

MOFs for Reduction of Ship Emissions“莫尔斯”是C-MAT Technologies与伦敦大学学院（UCL）、自然环境研究理事会（NERC）及其附属机构-英国南极调查局（BAS）和Tope Ocean合作领导的一个项目，该项目基于部署前试验的可行性研究，将为海上运输部门开发一种先进的二氧化碳排放烟气过滤系统。该技术的核心是采用新型金属有机框架（MOFs），这是一类多孔/海绵状材料，与活性炭过滤器等竞争材料相比，具有显着的多功能性和性能优势。由于大的内表面积作为CO2分子吸收的场所，MOFs具有任何已知材料中最高的气体捕获能力。莫尔斯将采用这种过滤技术，在陆上工业应用中已经有了良好的记录，目的是成功克服航运业脱碳的挑战。为了使国际海事组织和英国政府实现到2050年减少50%碳排放的目标，（与2008年水平相比），必须开发莫尔斯等技术，以减少目前占主导地位的海上运输碳氢化合物燃烧船舶的碳排放。平均寿命为20-25年，新的和现有的燃烧碳氢化合物的船舶仍将超过2035年的初始目标和2050年的最终碳目标。除非这些船舶通过新的改造技术实现碳减排，否则公司放弃船队而建造新的低碳和零碳替代品在商业上仍然不可行。莫尔斯将在显著减少使用传统燃料的船舶的碳排放方面发挥关键作用，并且在未来船舶建造或改造为使用绿色甲醇和氨等新型和创新燃料时也将发挥关键作用。

MOFs for Reduction of Ship Emissions "MORSE" is a project lead by C-MAT Technologies in partnership with; University College London (UCL), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) including subsidiary - the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and Tope Ocean.This pre-deployment trial based feasibility study will develop a cutting-edge, CO2 emission, flue gas filtration system for the maritime transport sector. At it's heart, the technology employs novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous/sponge-like materials which have significant versatility and performance gains over competing materials such as activated carbon filters. With large internal surface areas acting as sites for CO2 molecules absorption, MOFs possess some of highest gas capture capacities of any known material. MORSE will adapt this filtration technology with an already proven track record in onshore industrial applications with the aim of successfully overcoming the challenge of decarbonising the shipping sector.In order for the International Maritime Organisation and the UK government to meet their targets of 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 (compared to 2008 levels), technologies such as MORSE must be developed in order to reduce carbon emitted by hydrocarbon burning vessels which currently dominate marine transportation. With an average lifespan of 20-25 years, new and existing vessels burning hydrocarbons will still be sailing beyond the 2035 initial target and 2050 final carbon target. Unless these vessels are targeted for carbon reduction through new retrofit technology it remains commercially unviable for companies to scrap their fleets in favour of building new low and zero carbon alternatives. MORSE will play a key role in significantly reducing carbon emissions from shipping in vessels running on conventional fuels, and also in the future when ships are built or converted to run on new and innovative fuels such as green methanol and ammonia.
