Dale Robert Lutz 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).

  • Reliable carbon-neutral power generation system
    Patent number: 9557057
    Abstract: Systems for providing reliable, controllable power without releasing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) to the environment. Any CO2 generated is captured and converted to hydrocarbons, which may be used as hydrocarbon feedstock or as additional fuel. Some of these systems can even reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide. The systems may utilize a carbon-neutral energy source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017
    Inventor: Dale Robert Lutz

  • Reliable carbon-neutral power generation system
    Patent number: 8584468
    Abstract: Systems for providing reliable, controllable power without releasing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) to the environment. Any CO.sub.2 generated is captured and converted to hydrocarbons, which may be used as hydrocarbon feedstock or as additional fuel. Some of these systems can even reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide. The systems may utilize a carbon-neutral energy source.

  • Apparatus and method for collecting an atmospheric gas
    Patent number: 8464545
    Abstract: A system for extracting a target atmospheric gas from an atmosphere, including a carbon-neutral energy source and a cooling unit connected to a condenser, is disclosed. An optional collection chamber and optional reaction chamber are also disclosed. Also disclosed are a method of providing hydrocarbon feedstocks, a method of removing a gas from an atmosphere, and a method of reducing the concentration of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere.
