  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CARBON CAPTURE IN AN EXHAUST SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250043707
    Abstract: A method and apparatus includes a housing defining an internal cavity, wherein the housing includes at least a first exhaust gas inlet for exhaust gas at a first temperature and a second exhaust gas inlet for exhaust gas at a second temperature greater than the first temperature. The housing further includes at least a first outlet to atmosphere and a second outlet to at least one storage component. At least one heating element is positioned within the internal cavity. Adsorption material is located within the internal cavity, and at least one flow guide directs exhaust gas through the adsorption material from the first exhaust gas inlet to the first outlet.

  • Recombinant yeast having increased tolerance to ionic liquids and methods of use
    Patent number: 11639506
    Abstract: The present invention relates to materials and methods for the production of ethanol. More particularly, the present invention provides genetically modified strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae having enhanced tolerance for ionic liquid (IL) toxicity. Also provided are methods of using such genetically engineered yeast strains for improved IL-mediated hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for industrial-scale production of various fuels, chemical feedstocks, and synthetic polymers.
