"SkyNano, Endeavor Composites, and The University of Tennessee Knoxville propose to develop a composite panel that contains CO2-derived carbon nanotubes (CNTs), recycled carbon fiber waste, and bio-derived natural fibers that exhibits excellent mechanical and functional properties, while maintaining a carbon-negative footprint on a cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave basis. By the end of the Phase ...

Phytodetectors will design and engineer a synthetic biological pump circuit to increase the volume of water produced via photosynthetic desalination. This project builds off previous technology designed by Phytodetectors: a mangrove-inspired ultra-filter that allows plants to purify salt water as well as secrete water with properties comparable to bottled water. The partnership seeks to demonstrat ...

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere can play a significant role in reducing global warming if the process can be carried out at low cost. The key to reducing the cost is to develop new technology for the contactor, which is the component in the system that captures CO2 from the air so that it can be recovered, concentrated, and stored. We propose to develop an innovative contactor that reduces the mo ...

This novel approach to making cement at ambient temperature uses 55% Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) incinerator ash AND adds chemicals and wastes to sequester environmentally problematic combustion gases, chemicals and heavy metals during incineration, that in turn eliminates undesired chemicals in the final product leachate. The main project objective is the development of a novel cement product bas ...
