Example of micro fibers produced with 20 wt % AB (ammonia borane) in water as core solution, showing smooth (nonporous) and cylindrical (noncollapsed) fibers; from a 2010 paper by the scientific team. Cella’s current composite material uses ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3 ) as the hydride and polystyrene as the polymer nano-scaffold.

Teijin Limited is developing a non-platinum carbon alloy catalyst (CAC) for the cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Less expensive and more readily available than platinum, PAN enables the catalyst to be produced at reduced cost and in higher volumes. —Chai et al. 2010.01.012.

US Commercial-scale production of cellulosic biofuels reached about 20,000 gallons in late 2012, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Nor, despite the growth potential over the next several years, has the path to commercial biofuels been smooth. Planned cellulosic biofuel production by 2015. Source: EIA.

Both partners have been working on the development of the industrial fermentation and down-stream processing of bio-based succinic acid and will start production of commercial quality and volumes in the second quarter of 2010. Furthermore, low cost succinic acid has high potential as a platform chemical and its downstream products.
