OUR PORTFOLIO
SOLID CARBON PRODUCTS
Solid Carbon Products (SCP) has developed a proprietary method of transforming CO2 emissions into high value products. Using a patented, low-cost catalytic converter, SCP's Noyes Process permanently sequesters CO2 by converting it into solid carbon and pure water. The solid carbon is a valuable industrial material, whether in the form of carbon nanofiber, nanotubes, carbon black or blends of these, and the water can be re-purposed for agricultural or industrial use. SCP has received positive feedback from industry customers and continues to move forward developing strategic relationships and a sales base. The substantially lower cost of the SCP process is set to revolutionize current industry practices and has the potential to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions globally.
ASHTECH
Ashtech Innovation and Research, Inc. is the intellectual property holder of a highly innovative construction product poised to revolutionize the wallboard industry. The product, tagged "Flashboard", is made from a mixture of base materials derived from cenospheres, a waste product produced from the burning of coal, and is a cleaner, stronger, and better substitute for gypsum wallboard.
CONSOLIDATED ENERGY SYSTEMS
Consolidated Energy is a Salt Lake City, Utah based company that is developing a low cost fuel alternative for large stationary power diesel generation systems that currently use expensive heavy fuel oil. Consolidated's patent-pending technology enables it to use refinery waste, such as petroleum coke, in existing power generation systems and reduce costs by up to 50 percent. By concentrating on the use of carbon neutral bio-fuels and developing low emission projects using opportunity fuels, Consolidated Energy is well positioned to take advantage of the fast growing demand for new energy sources.
