K Line is teaming up with Rikkyo Educational Corporation to develop an onboard CO2 capture system using molecular technology

The ‘Social Implementation of Future Marine Environmentally Harmonious Materials’ project will explore how metal-organic frameworks (MOF), a porous material with high absorption capabilities, might be used to capture CO2.

The research will see the creation of the K Line Advanced Technology Future Environment Project Laboratory at Rikkyo University in Japan, bringing on board Professor Mao Minoura’s team from the Department of Chemistry.
