Patents by Inventor Christopher L. Camire

Christopher L. Camire has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Direct air capture (DAC) carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration methods and systems
    Patent number: 11712654
    Abstract: Methods of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2) are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting an aqueous capture liquid, such as an aqueous capture ammonia, with a direct air capture (DAC) generated gaseous source of CO2 under conditions sufficient to produce an aqueous carbonate liquid, such as an aqueous ammonium carbonate. The aqueous carbonate liquid is then combined with a cation source under conditions sufficient to produce a solid CO2 sequestering carbonate. Also provided are systems configured for carrying out the methods.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2023
    Assignee: Blue Planet Systems Corporation
    Inventors: Brent R. Constantz, Jacob Schneider, Christopher L. Camire, Seung-Hee Kang, Ken Hines
  • Negative Carbon Footprint Concrete Composition
    Publication number: 20230067634
    Abstract: A negative-carbon footprint concrete composition includes CO2-sequestering aggregate that sequesters carbon dioxide (CO2) from a CO2 containing gas and cementitious material. The negative-carbon footprint concrete composition has a negative carbon footprint relative to an ordinary concrete composition.
    Type: Application
