Listed below are some of the companies we've helped over the years.

Accelergy is a global leader in producing high performance fuels at less cost to both the environment and the customer.Accelergy utilizes advanced catalysts and state-of-the-art process technologies to transform coal and biomass into clean liquid fuels. Furthermore, our highly efficient Coal-Biomass-To-Liquids (CBTL) process emits fewer greenhouse gasses than any comparable industry process, ultimately leading to a wide range of fuels fit for our transportation.

Syntex Management Solutions provides commercial software solutions for operational and enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in the chemical, oil, utilities and mining industries. Syntex helps organizations around the world reduce their exposure to loss by implementing continuous process improvement. The company's customers implement its framework as their single, integrated enterprise-wide operational, quality, security, environmental, health and safety software solution.

Eco Power Solutions offers customers the world's most integrated, all-in-one energy recapture and emissions reduction solution. Its patented turnkey technology can reduce emissions by more than 96% (i.e. sulfur dioxide - SO2 and nitrogen oxides - NOx and particulate matter), as well as remove up to 25% of carbon dioxide output. The company's technolgy is also capable of generating supplementary energy by recovering waste heat that normally escapes into the atmosphere, thus providing a significant reduction in operating costs.


OPX BioProducts
has developed a novel way to produce renewable, biorefined chemicals and fuels at a lower cost than current petroleum-derived products. The Company's platform technology, Efficiency Directed Genome Engineering (EDGE), enables, in high throughput, genetic modification of E coli. The rapid manipulation of genes facilitates the identification of critical genetic codes attributed to the transformation of either sugar or syngas to the target chemical. In addition, EDGE then rapidly identifies the corresponding genes that improve volume/titer, yield, rate and purity in which the bioreaction takes place.


Lilliputian Systems, Inc.
has developed the world's first personal Power™ solution for consumer electronics devices. The Company's breakthrough solution delivers the only viable small form-factor battery replacement that provides the enormous run-time improvements demanded by today's devices, delivering a 5-10x run time improvement (or a 10-20x improvement on a weight basis) at a fraction of the cost. The technology is based on highly efficient and proven solid oxide fuel cells and MEMS based technology, and runs on high energy fuels like butane. The technology is reliable, safe (approved for use on aircraft) and environmentally friendly.

Novinda

Novinda provides innovative solutions to the coal combustion industry that help coal users lower their environmental impact, enabling them to generate energy and other coal products in a cleaner, safer, more sustainable manner. The company's non-carbon, non-flammable sorbent material – Amended Silicates – offers economic and environmental advantages not available with other mercury removal products. Novinda holds several patents that cover a broad class of materials with a strong affinity for mercury.


DHI Services was founded in 2006 to provide world-class mud logging and data acquisition services to the petroleum and geothermal industries. DHI's rig services include: 24/7 well monitoring, satellite internet connections, high speed chromatography, real time data systems, worldwide remote well monitoring, and brand new facilities with state of the art equipment. DHI's executive management team averages over 20 years of mud logging executive management and operations experience.

Microseismic provides passive seismic acquisition and processing services for the exploration, development and production of petroleum resources. By recording the natural seismic energy from micro-earthquakes or production induced micro-seismicity, MicroSeismic is able to create 3-D models of the subsurface structure and dynamic reservoir processes. These passive seismic surveys can be conducted in areas where traditional seismic cannot, without entering a wellbore, with a much smaller crew size, and at much lower cost. MicroSeismic uses its proprietary software to process and analyze the data.

Rignet provides broadband, plug-and-play data, voice and video networks to offshore rigs and remote locations. The company supplies and permanently installs all hardware and software and the customer's choice of related network services to allow a pure plug and play system once a rig arrives on site.

Southwest Windpower is a leading developer and manufacturer of low cost, reliable, micro wind turbines in the range of 400 watts to 3kW. These small turbines provide electricity for remote homes, rural areas in developing countries, on-grid applications, telecommunication systems, recreational vehicles such as sailboats, and other remote applications. Southwest Windpower produces two main product lines – Air and Whisper – and has sold over 90,000 turbines to date. The Company is now focusing on the distributed generation market with Skystream, a series of new grid connected wind turbines that will allow consumers in rural areas to reduce or eliminate their monthly electrical bill. The Company has distributors in 55 countries and was awarded the "Exporter of the Year" by the United States Export Import Bank of America in 2002.

TransZap is an application service provider and a business-to-business information exchange serving the energy industry via the Internet. TransZap's technology offers a low-cost, secure solution for transmitting and processing complex financial data. Using easily understood, interoperable formats, energy companies can access secure, real-time data and solutions. TranZap's current products and services include check stub reporting, crude oil data exchange, gas data exchange, vendor invoicing and joint interest billing.

Austin Geomodeling is a software company focused on next generation 3-D well log interpretation and interactive surface modeling. The Company's first product, Recon, offers the oil and gas industry an unequaled workstation for interactive 3-D geological interpretation. The program is unique in its ability to rapidly create three-dimensional graphic renderings of the earth's subsurface structures based on volumes of data obtained from hundreds of well logs.

Hyperion Power Generation (HPG) was formed to bring to market the unique Hyperion small, modular, non-weapons grade nuclear power reactor invented at the United States' famed Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico. Through the commercialization program at LANL's Technology Transfer Division, HPG was awarded the exclusive license to utilize the intellectual property and develop a product that will benefit the U.S. economy and global society as a whole. Hyperion power modules (HPMs) are a perfect alternative for those communities—such as military bases, hospital and college campuses, – that, for security, reliability, or financial reasons, desire to be independent of their local utility's power source. Equally important is Hyperion's ability to bring heat for industrial uses and electricity for infrastructure and homes to remote locations with no reasonable access to reliable energy.
