Cheap-to-make material exceeds US targets for natural gas storage thanks to flexible structure

A new porous polymer can store methane with a capacity 25% greater than the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) targets for natural gas storage materials, and could be produced for as little as $1 (£0.80) per kilogram.
