Work with companies who need support in process technology development, scale-up, and process/product improvement. We solve problems that involve the intersection of fundamental technical issues and commercial applications, especially in clean energy and process/product decarbonization. Gas and liquids separations technologies are of particular interest. More at https://www.decarbonizellc.com/

Process development for manufacturing of silicon anode materials for advanced lithium-ion batteries. My focus was on process development, pilot testing and scale-up design for Sila's first commercial production facility.
