Revolutionary nanotechnology company developing new nanostructured cheap catalysts to substitute Platinum and Rhodium in industrial use. Key markets are automotive, pollution control, oil refinement, hydrogen production and fuel cell technology. Initial focus is to find a cheaper alternative to replace Platinum and possibly Rhodium in the most demanding markets, thus easing their growth with lower costs and limitless quantities. These markets today are worth 41.000.000.000 USD. Analysts expect further growth of the demand of these materials. Our cheaper materials will thus be well accepted and foster new technologies where the use of rare catalysts has been a barrier to industrialization. The two most demanding markets of Platinum and Rhodium are:- Automotive: our catalyst can sensibly reduce the cost of pollution control in the diesel market.- Oil refinement and gas to liquid conversion: our specifically tailored catalysts will enhance production and reduce costs.
