ABSTRACT0438469 Coleman. This award is to the University of Missouri-Columbia to support the activity described below for 24 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF-04556). Partners: The partners include the University of Missouri-Columbia (Lead Institution), Clean Vehicle Education Foundation, DBHORNE LLC, Lincoln University, Midwest Research Institute, Missouri Biotechnology Association, and Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The primary objective is to develop safe, high-capacity storage technologies for natural gas. These technologies build on new adsorbent materials that radically reduce the pressure required for high-capacity gas storage for next-generation clean automobiles. The project involves production of nanoporous carbon and calixarene from domestic sources as adsorbents for methane; construction and testing of a prototype natural gas automobile fuel tank based on these materials; developing technologies to collect methane from landfills; establishing a training program in alternative energy technologies for undergraduates based on internships; and assessing and patenting the technologies. Potential Economic Impact: The activity will provide practical fuel tanks for clean and non-polluting automobiles and trucks, and for large-scale tanks for shipping gas fuels. This will sustain long-term innovation by demonstrating new clean energy and transportation technologies, and by training students to become future leaders in alternative energy technologies. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the development of natural gas fuel storage tanks that avoid the need for high-pressure containment based on new storage media. The broader impacts of the activity concentrate on the clean fuel aspects for non-polluting automobiles for the future, to include potential hydrogen storage for fuel cells for automobiles, and education of a diverse workforce for the future.

摘要0438469科尔曼。该奖项授予密苏里大学哥伦比亚大学，以支持以下24个月所述的活动。该提案是为了响应创新计划招标的合作伙伴关系（NSF-04556）。合作伙伴：合作伙伴包括密苏里大学 - 哥伦比亚大学（主要机构），清洁车教育基金会，DBHorne LLC，林肯大学，中西部研究所，密苏里州生物技术协会和密苏里州自然资源部。主要目的是开发天然气的安全，高容量的存储技术。这些技术建立在新的吸附剂材料的基础上，从根本上降低了下一代清洁汽车的高容量气体存储所需的压力。该项目涉及从国内来源生产纳米多孔碳和钙的碳，作为甲烷的吸附剂；基于这些材料的原型天然气汽车燃料箱的建造和测试；开发从垃圾填埋场收集甲烷的技术；根据实习生为本科生建立替代能源技术的培训计划；并评估和专利技术。潜在的经济影响：该活动将为清洁和非冲洗汽车和卡车提供实用的燃油箱，以及用于运输燃气燃料的大型储罐。这将通过展示新的清洁能源和运输技术以及培训学生成为替代能源技术的未来领导者来维持长期创新。该项目的智力优点在于开发天然气燃料储罐，避免了基于新存储媒体的高压遏制的需求。活动的更广泛的影响集中在未来的非冲洗汽车的清洁燃料方面，包括用于汽车的燃料电池的潜在氢存储，以及对未来的多样化劳动力的教育。
