CO2 Capture and Transformation into Sustainable Aviation Fuel using Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs4SAF)


MOF④SAF (MuRE scope) scales up copper catalysts confined in metal-organic frameworks (Cu/ZIF-8) for the thermocatalytic conversion of CO₂ toward sustainable aviation fuel. The framework stabilizes the copper nanoparticles and controls selectivity [163, 210] [patent 14].

  • Reproducible synthesis at larger batch sizes
  • Shaping and stability under reaction conditions [134, 141]
  • Metal-framework interfaces and promoters [182, 191, 178, 127]
  • Transfer from laboratory to industrial implementation
