Catalysis

Activator chemicals that work with hydrogen peroxide to replace chlorine bleaches. TAML™ (tetraamido-macrocyclic ligand activators) activators can be used to prepare wood pulp for papermaking and remove stains from laundry. This technology eliminates chlorinated byproducts from wastewater streams and saves energy and water. This process minimizes pollution by employing reagents and processes that mimic those found in nature. More specifically, Terry Collins developed activators with the natural oxidant hydrogen peroxide.

Carbon-negative alcohols and fuels. AIRMADE™ is patented process that imitates photosynthesis. It uses renewable energy to convert excessive carbon dioxide into carbon-negative alcohols and fuels with only oxygen as a by product. Carbon dioxide is captured from industrial plants before they are emitted into the atmospher and is cooled, pressurized, and liquified. Hydrogen is produced with renewable energy through on-site electrolysis; an electrolyzer splits water into hydrogen, yielding oxygen gas a byproduct that is simply released into the air.

The Catalytic BioForming® Process converts aqueous carbohydrate solutions into mixtures of "drop-in" hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbon molecules are derived from renewable feedstocks but are equivalent to those found in petroleum products. These hydrocarbons are scalable because they maintain market acceptance; these molecules can be blended with existing infrastructure to produce premium-quality gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel. Fuels produced from these sustainable hydrocarbons are more energy efficient and have lower life-cycle carbon emissions than crude oil fuels.

The Plantrose® Process is a water-based technology platform that converts plants into powerful ingredients. It converts water to a supercritical state to break down plants into foundational ingredients that can be used for various applications. The plants that are used in this process are sustainably grown and harvested. The ingredients from these broken down plants can be used in everyday consumer products and industrial applications. Using water instead of other chemicals also lowers costs.
