The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is to advance dynamic chemical reactor systems that repurposes waste gases (primarily carbon dioxide (CO2)) for use as fuels and as chemicals. This effort can have substantial commercial and market impacts as its output is compatible with existing infrastructure. This project leverages significant recent investments into carbon capture, renewable energy generation, and green hydrogen. A particularly interesting application of this technology is the production of chemical feedstocks that are used to make plastics and other commodity chemicals from living organisms. This is inherently a step towards carbon negative manufacturing. The proposed project aims to re-purpose pollutants to a feedstock for fuels and chemicals. Although renewable energy sources are increasing and becoming cheaper, these technologies are not ready for heavy-duty transportation and chemical sectors. No commercial scale operation is in existence in which CO2 is captured from the air or flue gas and converted to value-added fuels despite much fundamental research effort. The research objectives are to scale up the materials and system from the Phase I results and conduct a design and analysis of a full-scale system. The main advance is to achieve dynamic chemical reactor modules that achieve high reactant conversions. These results will permit analysis of a pilot-scale facility as well as translation of the benefits of this sustainable chemical reaction toward industrial scale production of clean and green hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这种小型企业技术转移（STTR）II期项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是推进动态化学反应器系统，以重新利用废物（主要是二氧化碳（CO2））作为燃料和化学物质。由于其产出与现有基础设施兼容，因此这种努力可能会产生重大的商业影响和市场影响。该项目利用了最近对碳捕获，可再生能源产生和绿色氢的大量投资。该技术的一个特别有趣的应用是化学原料的生产，这些原料用于生产生物体的塑料和其他商品化学物质。 这本质上是朝着碳负面制造迈出的一步。拟议的项目旨在将污染物重新使用到燃料和化学物质的原料中。尽管可再生能源正在增加并变得更便宜，但这些技术尚未准备好进行重型运输和化学领域。尽管有很多基本的研究工作，但尚无商业规模操作，其中二氧化碳被从空气或烟气中捕获并转化为增值燃料。研究目标是从I阶段结果扩展材料和系统，并对全尺度系统进行设计和分析。主要的进步是实现可实现高反应物转换的动态化学反应器模块。这些结果将允许分析试点规模的设施，以及对这种可持续化学反应对清洁和绿色碳氢化合物燃料和化学化学产生的可持续化学反应的好处的转换。这奖反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
