The key components of the catalyst chemistries are precious metals often referred to as Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). PGMs are very effective catalysts but are also exceptionally expensive due to their rarity and processing costs. Aether's catalyst formulation uses zero Platinum Group Metals, instead relying upon cost effective mixed metal oxides to provide the catalytic activity.","length":552,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Given the cost and supply chain difficulties inherent in the acquisition and processing of PGMs, and the increasing geopolitical risks in the areas that mine them, it's no surprise that when faced with increased loadings of PGMs to meet rising emissions standards, OEMs are actively looking for alternatives.","length":312,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":""Aether's work on this catalyst has produced a thorough understanding of the way its elemental make-up affects desired catalytic behaviour. This has led to a patent application that focusses on composition of matter," said Taylor Procyk, COO of Aether. "Protecting our catalyst from a composition perspective is the best way to ensure that we retain control of the technology as we continue to address our existing and emerging commercialization opportunities."","length":485,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"The national stage entry, which follows the company's initial Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application, secures intellectual property rights in key markets including Canada, the United States, Europe, India, Japan, and South Korea.
