CEP: Catalyzing Commercialization - High-Performance MOFs Improve the Economics of Industrial Gases

The power required to compress gases accounts for up to 50% of the cost of the delivered gas.

NuMat Technologies, an Illinois startup has developed synthetic adsorbent materials to address these challenges.
