[company_age]16.0[/company_age][employees]11-50 employees[/employees][funding]Grant[/funding][description]Promethean Particles is a UK-based company that specializes in the development and manufacture of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and other nanomaterials. The company is a global pioneer in the industrial-scale manufacture of MOFs and is focused on developing the use of MOFs in the fight against climate change, particularly for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications. Promethean's MOFs have the potential to deliver significant advantages over existing technologies, including increased energy-efficiency, lower process complexity, smaller operating footprint, and an improved EHS profile. The company has developed a range of patented continuous-flow reactors that improve throughput and cost while increasing process reliability and consistency. Promethean operates a 1,000 tonnes per year reactor at its site in Nottingham, UK, which is the world's largest continuous multi-nanomaterial manufacturing plant. Promethean is collaborating with several different organizations to test MOFs in real-world environments and measure carbon capture effectiveness. Results from completed studies have been positive, demonstrating that MOFs can significantly increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of CCS. Larger-scale MOF-based CCS demonstration units are now planned on the path to full-scale implementation.[/description][ps]Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and other nanomaterials[/ps]
