The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Mosaic Materials (“Mosaic”) to develop a lower cost process for the critical carbon dioxide (CO2) removal step in biogas upgrading using a novel class of solid adsorbents composed of diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). A pilot-scale system utilizing the developed MOF-based adsorbents would be designed and engineered by an accredited global engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm contracted by Mosaic, then installed and tested over the course of one year at a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) host facility.
