DIOXIDE MATERIALS, INC.
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA

Dioxide Materials is developing green technology that takes CO , water and renewable energy to make sustainable fuels and chemicals. We are committed to offering our customers innovative CO , sensing and recycling solutions to save money on air conditioning bills, help the environment and lower the US dependence on imported oil. Dioxide Materials was founded in 2009 in Champaign, Illinois, and is now headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. Dioxide Materials’ sensors can be used as a drop in replacement for incumbent NDIR CO Our technology lowers the cost of converting carbon dioxide into C1 building blocks by a factor of 3, creating the first cost-competitive route to large volume, renewable fuels and chemicals. Our goal is to develop a new industry where waste carbon dioxide from power plants and industrial sources is used as a feedstock to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and industrial chemicals thereby reducing the U.S.’s dependence for imported oil, creating thousands of U.S. jobs while significantly reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming. Dioxide Materials’ Professor Rich Masel is Dioxide Materials’ Founder and Chief Executive Officer. Rich Retired from the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at the University Of Illinois, Urbana Champaign in June 2010 after being on the faculty for 32 years. He has a distinguished publication record with over 250 peer reviewed journal publications, 400 conference papers, two textbooks, 22 issued patents and has multiple patents pending. Rich has an h-index over 60 and is listed in HighlyCited publishing papers that have had the most impact since 2000. Prior to founding Dioxide Materials, Rich helped found Tekion, a developer of fuel cells for portable electronics and Cbana Laboratories homeland security company. Both are now independent companies with professional management. Rich played a key role in each company in four ways: leading initial technology development; developing Fortune 500 partners; helping to hire management and fundraising. These two companies raised approximately $5 million of grant funding and about $30 million of VC and Angel financing.
