UD’s Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation, a DOE Energy Frontier Research Center, has invented a new process that could make forest and farm waste a cheaper, sustainable alternative to the petroleum used in manufacturing thousands of products.
A Sweeter Way to Make Green Products
Researchers invent process for extracting sugars from wood
The shampoo you washed your hair with this morning. The balloons for the party. Refrigerators and sunglasses, medicine and mosquito repellent, guitar strings and fishing lures. These—and thousands of other products we use every day—contain chemicals made from petroleum. But researchers at the University of Delaware can now offer manufacturers a much sweeter alternative to this fossil fuel.

 Think you have an invention?
If so, UD’s Technology Transfer Office (TTO) would like to talk with you! The process begins by filling out and submitting an Invention Disclosure Form available at http://www.oeip.udel.edu/technology-transfer/.
Upon receipt, the TTO will assign a case number and arrange for you to meet with the IP Commercialization Committee, composed of experienced legal, business and technical professionals, to discuss your invention and strategies for commercialization. We look forward to talking with you!
Please contact Brad Yops at (302) 831-0147 or byops@udel.edu for any intellectual property or commercialization related questions. More
