- Description
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a commercialization partner for a novel low-temperature oxidation catalyst for use in automotive, trucking, and stationary engine applications. This promising technology was selected as a participant in the ORNL Technology Innovation Program (TIP). TIP is a royalty-funded technology maturation program designed to accelerate the commercial adoption of high potential ORNL technologies. And the ORNL Science and Technology Partnerships Office is now accepting licensing applications through November 1, 2017. Prospective licensees are invited to attend the ORNL TIP Showcase On October 3, 2017, which will feature technical presentations and laboratory tours. The catalyst material is composed of oxides of Ce, Co, and Cu (CCC) that displays unique capability to oxidize CO without inhibition from hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon inhibition has traditionally hampered low temperature oxidation for market dominated Platinum Group Metal (PGM) based catalysts. The technology combines CCC material with PGM catalysts to achieve improvements in low temperature oxidation of CO and hydrocarbons at a lower overall cost than conventional PGM catalysts. Demand exists for the CCC technology because new engine technologies with improved fuel efficiency require lower temperature emission control to meet emission regulations. Applications: • Automotive emission control • Truck/Off-Road emission control • Stationary power generation emission control Advantage: • Low temperature oxidation at a lower overall cost than conventional PGM catalysts Technology Innovation Program: This technology was originally developed using federal funds and selected for further development under the laboratory's Technology Innovation Program (TIP). TIP supports technology development using royalties from existing technology licenses to accelerate the market readiness of high potential technologies. If your organization is interested in exploiting/utilizing this technology, we encourage you to do so via a licensing agreement. ORNL is accepting licensing applications for review from all interested parties, and license applications will be evaluated based on prospective partners' ability and commitment to successfully commercialize the technology. If a license agreement is executed, the ORNL researchers developing the technology will be eligible to compete for additional TIP funding to assist in the transfer of the technology to the licensee. Timeline: October 3, 2017 - TIP Showcase at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Interested Parties can come to ORNL for a conference wherein presentations will be given by inventors highlighting these licensing opportunities, laboratory visits will be possible demonstrating the technologies, and breakout sessions time will be available with commercialization/licensing associates. November 1, 2017 - Deadline for receipt of licensing applications. November 15, 2017 - Notice of selection of candidates invited to license. January 30, 2018 - Final Negotiations of Licensing Agreements. Intellectual Property: US Non-Provisional Filing Serial No.: 15/134,449 "Catalyst for Low Temperature Emission Control and Methods for Using Same." Filed 21/04/ 2016. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the largest US Department of Energy science and energy laboratory, conducting basic and applied research to deliver transformative solutions to compelling problems in energy and security. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under its Prime Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725.
