UR Fuel - (SAF) Sustainable Aviation Fuel + Pee to Power

Net Zero Liquid Fuel

  1. UR Fuel’s Mission: To Provide Access to the World’s Energy. This project addresses the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions with SAF made using hydroxyisovalerate and nutrients from liquid waste, specifically urine, for the fermentative production of biobased isobutanol in LDES apparatus, alongside ethanol offgas from DAC. UR Fuel Inc.'s innovative low energy input technology will initially support the SFO (San Francisco International Airport) efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by providing drop-in synthesized hydrocarbon fuels from urine waste streams producing ethanol, renewable energy sources, gaseous carbon oxides­ for SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). The project proposes to create plug and play modular scalable sustainable net zero closed loop energy manufacturing facility modules partnering with local municipal wastewater treatments plants to expand throughout the County through prefabricated State permits and by using renewable energy sources from local power companies, as well as solar panels and urine fueled microbial fuel cells.

Algaent - Algae Solar Fuel Collector

  • Google Calendar ICS
Algaent brings fuel production - Home. People grow gardens in their backyards, on roofs and walls and go to the grocery store. Algaent is a collector and fuel transesterificator making it possible for people to grow some of their own gasoline. Algaent, in its module, can be installed oblique to the sun’s altitude; or hidden and sustain light levels with glow plates. It is possible to supplement some or all of transportation fuel needs, with this kit-of-parts. Algaent provides existing engines, relying on traditional gasoline or diesel their fuel needs in a CO2 reducing way. It ain't Paint, it's Algaint!

In-Wall HVAC Insulation Panels

  • Google Calendar ICS

We have invented a novel, affordable, and bio-inspired TES system for whole-home space conditioning and hot water heating. Our modular, field-installable solution integrates with existing hot water systems and utilizes energy efficient principles of saltatory conduction within water-filled proprietary phase change material in-wall insulation panels.
