SBIR Details

Research Type
Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Phase II
Title
Catalytic Conversion of Waste Plastic to Hydrogen and Performance Carbon
Abstract
Cecilia Energy proposes to continue research and development on a novel technology using microwave (MW)-Assisted ThermoCatalytic Decomposition (MWATCD) of mission trash to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and solid carbon, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Future NASA manned missions will require significant, if not complete, recycling of water and materials to reduce system fuel and materials storage demands.
Research Objective
The goal of phase II is to continue the R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the project proposed in Phase II.
