Auterra, Inc.
Auterra, Inc. is an advanced inorganic materials manufacturing and development company.  ANW has developed a patent pending inorganic materials platform called the Molecular Control Process (MCP) that is proving to be the first major advancement in inorganic material science in 30 years.  MCP is a broad-based manufacturing platform that covers over 50 base elements.  It is cost-effective, scalable and has already delivered over eight new patent-pending molecules, process and application patents.  Products derived from MCP are being used as a catalyst for a novel crude oil sweetening technology, as a “green” high performance flame retardant additive for plastics and coatings and for photo-voltaic thin film applications.

Building Performance Institute
Setting standards and articulating best practices for residential contractors, the Building Performance Institute (BPI) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in the building trades.

• Silicon-carbide-based, wide-band-gap, superlattice wafers for high-power electric-switching devices and high-temperature, high-speed chips
• Lightweight isotopes, specifically silicon 28, silicon 30 and carbon 13, that possess the enhanced thermal characteristics needed for improving both silicon and silicon-carbide-based wafer products
•  Advanced Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology, which is used for high-speed and harsh-environment microprocessors and control chips
