Date	Agency	Description	Amount	NAICS
2021-08-09	Department of Defense	IN-SITU PRODUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE(CO2)-DERIVED DEICING AGENT	$750K	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES (EXCEPT NANOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY)
2017-04-10	National Aeronautics and Space Administration	IGF::OT::IGF OPUS 12 HAS REDESIGNED THE CATHODE OF THE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PEM WATER ELECTROLYZER SUCH THAT IT CAN SUPPORT THE REDUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE INTO ETHYLENE AND/OR METHANE AND SUPPRESS THE COMPETING HYDROGEN REACTION. METHANE AND ETHYLENE ARE WELL KNOWN POLYMER PRECURSORS THAT CAN BE USED AS STARTING MATERIAL TO MAKE PLASTICS IN EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS. PEM WATER ELECTROLYZERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROVEN SPACE WORTHY AND ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AT VARIOUS SCALES. OUR INNOVATION ENABLES THE CREATION OF POLYETHYLENE AND OTHER POLYMERS SUCH AS POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES FROM THE MOST BASIC STARTING MATERIALS: CO2, WATER AND ELECTRICITY. IN PHASE II, OPUS 12 WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF THE CO2 CONVERSION PROCESS AND BUILD A WORKING PROTOTYPE OF ETHYLENE AND METHANE PRODUCTION THAT WILL SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR A FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVICE.	$750K	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES (EXCEPT BIOTECHNOLOGY)
2016-06-09	National Aeronautics and Space Administration	IGF::OT::IGF OPUS 12 HAS REDESIGNED THE CATHODE OF THE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PEM WATER ELECTROLYZER SUCH THAT IT CAN SUPPORT THE REDUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE INTO ETHYLENE AND SUPPRESS THE COMPETING HYDROGEN REACTION. WHEN COUPLED WITH AN ETHYLENE POLYMERIZATION REACTOR TO MAKE POLYETHYLENE OUR TECHNOLOGY COULD MAKE PLASTICS OUT OF THE MARTIAN CO2 ATMOSPHERE IN A SIMPLE TWO-STEP PROCESS. PEM WATER ELECTROLYZERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROVED SPACE WORTHY AND ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AT VARIOUS SCALES. ETHYLENE POLYMERIZATION IS WELL UNDERSTOOD. OUR INNOVATION ENABLES THE CREATION OF POLYETHYLENE FROM THE MOST BASIC STARTING MATERIALS: CO2, WATER AND ELECTRICITY. DURING PHASE I, OPUS 12 WILL SHOW THE FEASIBILITY OF ETHYLENE PRODUCTION IN A SINGLE STEP BY HITTING KEY PERFORMANCE TARGETS TO OPTIMIZE OUR EXISTING PROTOTYPE REACTOR. THIS OPTIMIZATION WILL BE DONE BY CREATING AND TESTING DIFFERENT RATIOS OF THE CATALYSTS TO THE OTHER MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF THE REACTOR. DURING PHASE II, WE WILL INTEGRATE OUR REACTOR DESIGN INTO COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PEM ELECTROLYZERS WITH A COMMERCIAL PARTNER AND ADD A POLYMERIZATION REACTOR TO THE SYSTEM TO PRODUCE POLYETHYLENE FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING.	$112K	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES (EXCEPT BIOTECHNOLOGY)
2020-03-05	Department of Defense	CO2-DERIVED FORMATE DEICING AGENT	$50K	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES (EXCEPT NANOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY)
2019-03-18	Department of Defense	SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) TECHNICAL PROPOSAL, F191-005-1119	$0	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHYSICAL, ENGINEERING, AND LIFE SCIENCES (EXCEPT NANOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY)
