# Scalable MOF membranes enable energy-efficient gas separation

Researchers have developed a method to create quasi-pure metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes that are scalable and highly effective for gas separation. These membranes offer a more energy-efficient alternative to conventional separation processes, which are often energy-intensive. This advancement could significantly reduce industrial energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
