TS-073184 — Direct air capture (DAC) technologies are essential for meeting global carbon‑reduction goals, yet most current systems remain limited by high energy demand, high cost, and materials with insufficient stability. Traditional solid‑sorbent DAC approaches require significant thermal input for reg…

TS-072615 — The Need Efficient carbon dioxide (CO₂) utilization and separation remain critical challenges in energy, chemical, and environmental sectors. Existing processes for CO₂ conversion to carbon monoxide (CO) and for separating CO₂/CO mixtures are energy-intensive, costly, and often lack selectivit…

TS-071805 — The Need Hydrogen production from coal-derived syngas is a promising route for cleaner energy, but current CO₂/H₂ separation technologies struggle with efficiency, selectivity, and stability at high pressures. Existing membranes often suffer from reduced CO₂ permeance and compaction under indu…

TS-069650 — The Need The urgent need to mitigate climate change has driven the demand for efficient carbon capture technologies. Current methods often fall short in achieving high capture rates and purity levels, especially for industrial applications. This technology addresses the critical need for a scalable…

TS-069522 — The Need The biofuel and biochemical industries face challenges in efficiently converting fermentation byproducts, such as butyrate, into higher-value products like butanol. Traditional methods often result in the accumulation of waste products, limiting overall process efficiency and economic viab…

TS-068795 — The Need Renewable energy resources have gained global interest due to environmental issues, climate change, oil price and supply volatility, and decreasing nonrenewable fossil fuel sources. Butanol is a biofuel alternative that can provide a higher heating value, lower volatility, polarity, cor…

TS-037515 — New method of producing n-propanol and propionic acid using a metabolically engineered propionibacteria.

TS-037391 — A 2-stage enriching cascade membrane process for capturing CO2 from flue gas in a power plant without air sweep
