The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of Michigan for the development of natural gas adsorbents based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through high-throughput computational screening coupled to machine learning to identify MOFs that meet the project objectives. The most promising materials identified would be synthesized and characterized experimentally with the performance of these materials being projected to the system level using a modeling framework developed by the Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence. Project work would occur at the University of Michigan and Savannah River National Laboratory. Any work proposed to be conducted at a federal facility may be subject to additional NEPA review by the cognizant federal official and must meet the applicable health and safety requirements of the facility.
