Catalysis by Design.

For decades, forward-thinking individuals have dreamed of the availability of cost-effective renewable fuels. Billions of dollars and years have been spent on research and development. Some significant progress has been made, but imported oil still remains the dominant source for the United States' transportation needs.

Incitor, LLC ('Incitor'), a company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has created a novel and patent-pending nanoscale manufacturing platform called a 'bionanolattice' that promises to make cost-effective renewable fuels a reality. Taking a different approach to the challenge than previous efforts, Incitor's self-assembling bionanolattices control the placement of diverse molecules in three-dimensional space with accuracy measured in billionths of a meter. While this ability offers solutions to a myriad of industries, including pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and vaccines, Incitor has applied the techniques to resolving the need for renewable fuels by making synthetic enzymes.
