License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a SPP agreement, ACT agreement, or CRADA agreement. THE TECHNOLOGY: We seek a licensee for US Patent 9,663,435. This technology is for the decarboxylation of levulinic acid to methyl ethyl ketone as the major product and acetone as the minor product. The methyl ethyl ketone and acetone mixture can be converted to liquid hydrocarbon fuels by treatment over a Zn/ZrO2 catalyst, or alternatively by acid-catalyzed Aldol condensation followed by hydrogenation. For all inquiries, please reference Battelle IPID 30929. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than thirty (30) days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company's business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice, referencing Battelle IPID 30929.
