This directory contains information on companies using nanotechnology to improve fuel.
Company | Product | Advantages |
Headwaters | Nanocatalysts used in the conversion of coal to liquid fuels and in the upgrading of low grade crude, such as crude from shale oil | Additional raw material, coal, for producing gasoline, diesel and other liquid fuels |
Refinery Science | Nanocatalyst used in upgrading low grade crude | Making low grade crude oil, such as from oil sands, usable for producing gasoline or diesel |
Oxonica | Nanoparticle cerium oxide catalyst for diesel fuel | Increased mileage and reduced air pollution |
H2OIL | Nanoclusters which helps gasoline and diesel fuels burn more completely by breaking the fuel into smaller droplets | Increased mileage and reduced air pollution |
Catlin | Nanosphere based catalyst that reduces cost of producing biodiesel | Producing diesel from vegetable oil |
Agrivida | Bioengineered plants that produce enzymes to simplify the conversion of cellulous to ethanol | Ethanol production using corn stalks |
