Cleantech Enabling Nanotechnology

Tantaline enables next generation cleantech energy including hydrogen production, fuel cell technology, biodiesel production and from biomass to ethanol conversion.
 
Many of the processes used in production of next generation energy fuels are very demanding concerning the choice of material in order to gain the high conversion efficiencies needed to be economically competitive. Access to suitable materials has historically been a limiting factor in the commercialization of the new clean energy technologies. The commercialization of Tantaline's nano scale tantalum surface alloy has enabled the these next generation cleantech energy solutions to become economically and technically feasible.
 

Recognized as the enabling technology for efficient hydrogen production

An example is hydrogen production via the sulfur iodine thermochemical cycle. In this cycle, heat can be used to split water in to oxygen and hydrogen - a clean process with no waste products. The base chemistry and the process has been known for decades, but it has been economically impractical due the inability of materials to contain the process.  Tantaline is the key technology to enable this process, where no other materials commercially available could do so. See the Full Case study (video) here.
