E-Flux

E-Flux provides analytical services for consultants and site-owners to assess the rate of naturally occurring petroleum degradation within underground aquifers. The E-Flux technology utilizes convenient and inexpensive CO2 traps placed on the surface and avoids the need for costly drilling and excavating equipment.


Living Ink Technologies
Living Ink is reinventing one of the world’s oldest and most expensive liquids: ink. You might not guess it, but ink goes for around $5,500 a gallon and is not exactly environmentally friendly to produce. Two scientists from Colorado State University have figured out a way to make cheap and environmentally friendly ink from algae. The company recently completed a successful Kickstarter, where they raised almost 400 percent of their goal.
