The enabling science CENTC is developing has the potential to fundamentally change manufacturing technologies for fuels, commodity and fine chemicals. Ownership interest in intellectual property developed as a result of CENTC research is associated with the institutions where the research was performed. IP developed by CENTC researchers and currently available for licensing, joint development and/or other mutually benefitial relationships includes:

• Catalysts for Manufacture of Clean Fuel via Alkane Metathis, ROI Number 05-0101 at the University of North Carolina Office of Technology Development.
• Supported Iridium Catalysts, ROI Number 07-0105 at the University of North Carolina Office of Technology Development.
• Synthetic Routes to p-Xylene and Toluene from Bio-Renewable Sources, ROI Number 11-0027 at the University of North Carolina Office of Technology Development.
  
• Catalysts for Liquid Fuel Production from Methanol, UC Case 2010-114-0 at the University of California, Santa Barbara Technology & Industry Alliances.
  
  

One strength of CENTC is the close connection to industry provided through our Industrial Affiliate program. Members of the Industrial Affiliates program are invited to the CENTC annual meeting to hear about new results and participate in round-table discussions with CENTC researchers and other Industrial Affiliates. These interactions provide opportunities for industry to determine early on whether any of the fundamental discoveries made by CENTC investigators are of interest for sponsored research or technology licensing.

For more information or to join the Industrial Affiliate program, please contact Jim Mayer (mayer@chem.washington.edu) or Tom Baker (rbaker@uottawa.ca).
