Dechlorination of Mixed-Plastics Feedstock with Low Temperature Pyrolysis for Downstream Gasification and Hydrogen Production
SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED Topic: C5626dMunicipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a huge untapped renewable feedstock resource to produce hydrogen through gasification. Currently, the utilization MSW for hydrogen production is not realized due to the presence of chlorine that causes degradation of gasifier components and formation of pollutants during gasification. This proposed technology has the potential to remove chlorine and produce a consist ...

11a Sustainable Recovery of Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer Materials
SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: C5611aRenewable energy sources are experiencing a surge of growth due to rising power demand but suffer asynchronous production relative to societal needs. To balance the overproduction during low demand and underproduction during high demand, proton exchange membrane (PEM) based electrolyzers (capable of producing zero-carbon, green hydrogen) and fuel cells (for clean electricity generation and zero em ...

20c Polymer Composites with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity
SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: C5620cPlastics (polymers) are used widely in energy, industry, and defense sectors due to their low cost and weight, processibility, and electrical insulation properties. Unfortunately, this class of materials is also thermally insulating, which restricts their usefulness in applications where heat is generated and has a direct effect on the performance (e.g. electronics and computing, LED lighting, hea ...

41f Development of a Continuous Cost Effective Kr Xe Capture Process for Nuclear Fuels Reprocessing
SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: C5641fNuclear energy is one of the most favorable and cheapest alternatives to fossil fuels, and it can be scaled up to meet global energy demands. The mass deployment of nuclear energy as a low-emissions source requires the reprocessing of used nuclear fuel to recover fissile materials and mitigate radioactive waste. A major concern with reprocessing used nuclear fuel is the release of gaseous radionuc ...

18b MEMBRANES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY STORAGE APPLICATIONS – Polymeric membranes for solar fuels generators-Novel dense-PBI membranes for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production
SBC: Greenway Energy LLC Topic: C5318bRecent studies seem to suggest that distributed and semi-central hydrogen production systems have potential in the near to mid-term for small/medium scale market penetration. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has been considered the ultimate method to produce hydrogen as well as other fuels, directly from solar radiation. The process is simple and has potential for high conversion efficie ...

Topic 22b- Low-cost, high-performance hydrogen storage technology solutions for fossil-integrated energy storage systems
SBC: Greenway Energy LLC Topic: C5322bCo-location of energy storage with fossil fuel power plants helps to improve plant flexibility, promote efficient plant operations, and increase plant lifetime. Compared to battery storage, Hydrogen Energy Storage (HES) systems offer the advantages of potential lower cost, long cycle life and no self-discharge leading to long-term, seasonal storage of off-peak electricity. Two HES systems will be ...

Optimization of Coal Waste/Biomass Gasification for Hydrogen Production
SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED Topic: C5421fDecades of coal use in the United States has resulted in large amounts of waste coal materials produced from coal preparation plants. Currently, these coal wastes are stored in piles and ponds, and many are causing environmental problems such as acid mine drainage. Technologies must be developed that can utilize these coal waste materials. Gasification of coal waste combined with biomass has the p ...

Metal Organic Framework Manufacturing Technology
SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: C5438aAs the global energy need is continually increasing, alternative processes to meet this demand while limiting the emission of greenhouse gases is essential. Nuclear energy is of great interest as a cost-effective alternative to the traditional carbon-based fossil fuels (i.e. coal and crude oil) that currently supply about 85% of the energy used globally. However, one of the key challenges for inno ...

Biodegradable Lubricant from Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol
SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: C4615aCurrent hydropower facilities employ a variety of electrical and mechanical equipment that necessitate the use of lubricants to ensure efficient operation of said equipment. The lubricants, either oils or greases, aid in reducing friction, dissipating heat, prevent oxidation, and sealing of water and debris from vital areas of the equipment. During operation, equipment may be submerged or otherwis ...

Improved Membranes for Solar Fuels Generators
SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: C4719bSolar fuels generators harness solar energy as the power source to generate either hydrogen or carbon-based fuels. In both cases, water is electrochemically oxidized to produce oxygen, protons, and electrons at the anode. Hydrogen or carbon-based fuels are produced at the cathode by the reduction of protons or carbon dioxide, respectively. Cation exchange membranes are a critical, cost determining ...
