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: US Patent 9,517,984 is available for licensing. In this work, 2,3 butane diol is treated over a HZSM-5 catalyst to make to methyl ethyl ketone, which is subjected to a second stage of Ru/C and H2 to afford 2 butanol. Further treatment of 2 butanol over HZSM-5 selectively provides butenes at 250 C, and aromatics at 400C, both of which may be converted into hydrocarbon fuels. For all inquiries, please reference Battelle IPID 30110. 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.
