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.

ABSTRACT0438469科尔曼。该奖项授予密苏里-哥伦比亚大学，以支持以下活动24个月。该提案是根据创新伙伴关系项目招标（NSF-04556）提交的。合作伙伴：合作伙伴包括密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校（牵头机构）、清洁汽车教育基金会、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。主要目标是开发安全、高容量的天然气储存技术。这些技术建立在新型吸附材料的基础上，从根本上降低了下一代清洁汽车大容量储气库所需的压力。该项目涉及从国内来源生产纳米多孔碳和杯芳烃作为甲烷吸附剂；基于这些材料的天然气汽车油箱原型的构建和测试；开发从垃圾填埋场收集甲烷的技术；建立以实习为基础的大学生替代能源技术培训项目；对技术进行评估并申请专利。潜在的经济影响：该活动将为清洁无污染的汽车和卡车提供实用的油箱，以及用于运输气体燃料的大型油箱。这将通过展示新的清洁能源和运输技术，并通过培训学生成为未来替代能源技术的领导者，来维持长期的创新。本项目的智力优势在于基于新型储存介质，研制出无需高压密封的天然气燃料储罐。该活动的广泛影响集中在未来无污染汽车的清洁燃料方面，包括汽车燃料电池的潜在氢储存，以及未来多样化劳动力的教育。
