Us Nanocorp is a company that received a Department of Defense SBIR/STTR grant for a project entitled: High Energy Density Thermal Battery with Nanostructured Cathode Materials. The abstract given for this project is as follows: The U.S. Army is seeking a technical innovation to thermal batteries with significant improvements on specific energy and operation life for weapon systems. One-time-thermal activation batteries have advantages compared with other types of reserved batteries in terms of long reserve-time, high reliability, maintenance free, high specific power, wide application temperatures, and good mechanical properties. The low voltage cathode and thermal life limit improvement on energy density and operational time of thermal batteries. US Nanocorp, Inc (USN) proposes a new high voltage nanostructured composite metal oxide and a new compatible electrolyte with a low melting point to address Army's request on performance improvements of the current state-of-the-art thermal batteries. Coupled with LiSi/LiAl anode, the new nanostructured composite metal oxide cathode will operate at 3V and have higher specific capacity compared with the current FeS2 cathode working at 1.7V. The application of the new cathode will increase the energy density 100%. The new electrolyte with a melting point <250oC and good chemical compatibility with high voltage cathode, will increase the active working time of the thermal batteries by increasing their thermal life (10X). The increment on active working life will also increase the energy density and reduce the battery's surface temperature.

Permafuels, Inc. is a Chapel Hill, NC based company that has received a grant(s) from the Department of Energy's SBIR/STTR program. The abstract(s) for these grant award(s) are provided as well since they provide insights into Permafuels, Inc.'s business and areas of expertise. Although biodiesel production using supercritical alcohols is an extremely fast and clean method, it has not been economically competitive with conventional catalytic approaches. This project will optimize the supercritical process to enable cost-effective commercial production of biodiesel fuel.
American Biodiesel, dba Community Fuels, is an advanced biofuel producer. The company produces among the highest quality biomass-based diesel fuels available - which qualifies as an Advanced Biofuel through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and its own fuel standard closely mirrors the requirements of multiple major oil companies and exceeds the Federal fuel standard (ASTM Standard).
Renewable Oil International is a Florence, AL based company that has received a grant(s) from the Department of Energy's SBIR/STTR program. The abstract(s) for these grant award(s) are provided as well since they provide insights into Renewable Oil International's business and areas of expertise. The project will produce liquid biofuels from wood biomass resources by fast pyrolysis followed by upgrading of the pyrolysis oils. This research will be a key step towards ending global warming, improving national security, and improving rural economies by reducing our dependence on petroleum feedstocks. Declining petroleum resources, combined with increased demand for petroleum by emerging economies, as well as political and environmental concerns about fossil fuels, are causing our society to search for new sources of liquid fuels. This project will develop a method for conversion of biomass into liquid fuels at a small scale called fast pyrolysis—a process whereby biomass is rapidly converted into a liquid biocrude which can be used for fuel oil or upgraded into gasoline and diesel fuels.
Aerophase, Inc. is a Longmont, CO based company that has received a grant(s) from the Department of Energy's SBIR/STTR program. The abstract(s) for these grant award(s) are provided as well since they provide insights into Aerophase, Inc.'s business and areas of expertise. Biodiesel is a key component in US plans to reduce dependence on foreign oil and decrease the environmental impacts of using fossil fuels—but current feedstocks and production technologies prevent it from being cost-competitive. This project will provide enabling technologies for a costeffective, energy-efficient method of producing biodiesel fuels from a variety of lowercost feedstocks.
