Honeywell SCOR

Completed

Description

This technology task will develop and test a brassboard Carbon Vapor Deposition reactor to recover hydrogen from methane by high temperature pyrolysis. This technology will greatly improve the recovery of oxygen from CO2 by Carbon Dioxide Reduction (CRA) Assembly hardware, by almost doubling the availability of hydrogen, which is a limiting reactant in the CRA's Sabatier reaction.

How to get involved

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
