Carbon capture company Nuada has completed the trial of its second pilot plant, Nuada Scout, at the Energy Innovation centre at the University of Sheffield in the UK, and is ready to move to commercial-scale deployment.

The system passes industrial emissions through a sponge-like metal organic framework (MOF-VPSA) sorbent material which selectively adsorbs CO2 molecules and uses 90% less energy than conventional carbon capture systems.
A vacuum process is then used to extract the captured CO2 without the need for large-scale plant or complex infrastructure.
