Engineered Microbial Platforms for Continuous Biomanufacturing from Industrial CO₂ Streams
TS-070297 —
Transforming industrial waste gases into valuable biofuels and chemicals.
Overview:
Industrial sectors such as cement and petroleum refining are under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining profitability. Our innovative technology leverages engineered strains of Cupriavidus necator to directly convert industrial waste carbon dioxide (C…

Synthesis of Ammonia-Borane from Borane Complexes and Ammonia
TS-015119 — Safe, efficient, and convenient procedures for preparation of pure Ammonia borane in large-scale through displacement reactions have been developed
Ammonia borane, an ideal source of storage hydrogen, was first synthesized 50 years ago, but no synthetic method was reported for industrial scale preparation. For vehicular fuel cell applications, the use of amine-borane compound is costly and lacks a suitable reformer design for the on-demand ge…

Alcohol Production from Carbon Dioxide
TS-014972 — An electrochemical process on a metal electrode catalyst is used to produce alcohols such as ethanol, ethylene, propanol, acetic acid, ethane, and formic acid from the direct conversion of carbon dioxide
In the United States, there is an increasing interest in ethanol as an alternative fuel source to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels. In 2012, the National Corn Growers Association reported that 27.3% of the corn harvested in the U.S. was used for the production of ethanol. This has sparked a…

Butanol Production from Renewable Biomass
TS-014747 — A genetically engineered bacteria pathway directed to selectively generate butanol over competing by-products.
Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) Fermentation is one of two methods to produce butanol from biomass feedstocks. Various active enzymes or acids are exposed to a biomass feedstock and subsequently produce primarily acetone, butanol and ethanol. Previous attempts in the industry to use Clostridium stra…
