Technical debrief: testing amine degradation products and MOFs for CO2 capture

In this episode of the Technical Debrief series from The 1895 Podcast, we explore the challenges surrounding amine degradation products and the development of next-generation materials for CO2 capture.

Stephen Harrison speaks with Manohara Gudiyor Veerabhadrappa from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) about the metrology and analytical methods needed to better understand capture technologies and their emissions.

They discuss the risks associated with degradation products from amine-based CO2 capture systems, including the challenge of accurately measuring potentially hazardous compounds. The episode also explores emerging solid-based capture materials such as MOFs and zeolites, their potential advantages in efficiency and scalability, and why more reliable experimental data is needed before large-scale deployment.
