Chemical Looping NOx Destruction Using Oxygen‑Uncoupling Metal Oxides
TS-074248 —
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions remain a major regulatory and environmental challenge for power generation, industrial combustion, and waste incineration. The dominant abatement technology, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), relies on ammonia or urea, introducing safety, cost, and operational co…

Two‑Reactor Chemical Looping for High‑Yield, Low‑Carbon Hydrogen Production
TS-073219 —
Global demand for low‑carbon hydrogen is rising, yet current methods carry efficiency penalties, complex gas clean‑up, and cost and footprint burdens. These drawbacks are amplified when upgrading dilute or variable‑quality feedstocks such as biogas and waste‑derived fuels. Industry needs a…

Sustainable Ammonia and Hydrogen Production via Biomass-Fueled Chemical Looping
TS-072583 — The Need
The ammonia industry is a major contributor to global CO₂ emissions, primarily due to its reliance on fossil fuels for hydrogen production and the energy-intensive air separation process for nitrogen. With over 500 million tons of CO₂ emitted annually from ammonia synthesis, there is a …

Integrated Chemical Looping System for CO2 Capture and High-Purity Syngas Generation
TS-072579 — The Need
Industrial processes that utilize syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) often generate tail gas streams rich in CO₂ and other byproducts. Conventional carbon capture methods, such as acid gas removal units, are highly energy-intensive and reduce overall plant efficiency. There is a critic…

Modular Unit for Liquid Fuel Production from Natural Gas
TS-070633 — The Need
Stranded natural gas (SNG), a by-product of crude oil extraction, is often flared due to the high cost and logistical challenges of pipeline transport. Approximately 15 tons/day of SNG is flared from one oil well. This results in significant greenhouse gas emissions and wasted energy. With …
