Could North Dakota lignite fuel the next generation of advanced materials? Our team is exploring how coal-derived graphene can be combined with metals to create composites with superior properties—like increased strength, better conductivity, and improved corrosion resistance. This research could open the door to a new industry in North Dakota, producing high-value materials for important applications like carbon capture, enhanced oil recovery, and hydrogen transportation. With the potential for economic growth, this project could shape the future of North Dakota’s energy and manufacturing sectors. #ExploratoryResearch #PioneeringSpirit #SERC #WorkYouCanBeProudOf #AdvancedMaterials #SuperMaterials #Metallurgy #Graphene

Exciting progress underway! 🚧 Thank you, Origen, for making the trip to Grand Forks and for your collaboration on this groundbreaking project. We’re thrilled to see construction moving forward and look forward to sharing more updates as we advance carbon removal solutions together! #CarbonRemoval #DirectAirCapture #CCUS #EnergyInnovation
Following the close of our Series A fundraise earlier this year, team Origen has gone straight to work. Last week, Origen visited the Energy & Environmental Research Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota where the two organizations are collaborating to build a large-scale demonstration of Origen's direct-air-capture technology. The project has officially kicked off construction and the early progress is impressive. Stay tuned for continued status updates and testing results later this year! https://lnkd.in/g9btvDEN

Exploring new ways to turn local resources into valuable products! Our team is testing how adding lignite-derived graphitic carbon (LDGC) to North Dakota’s glacial clay could create stronger, value-added composite materials. If successful, this research could transform often unwanted clay material into high-demand products like tiles and construction materials for roads, buildings, and patios. Not only would this add value to our state’s natural resources, but it could also open new market opportunities for lignite, boosting North Dakota’s economy in the process. #ExploratoryResearch #PioneeringSpirit #SERC #WorkYouCanBeProudOf #GlacialClay #NDLignite #AdvancedMaterials #CoalIndustry

Did you know it’s Global Recycling Day? While most think of cans and bottles, we’re exploring a bigger kind of recycling—giving decommissioned oil and gas wells a second life. Our team is investigating how existing infrastructure could be repurposed into sustainable geothermal energy sources. This research explores the technical and regulatory feasibility, as well as long term performance, potentially paving the way for new energy sources in the Williston Basin! #ExploratoryResearch #PioneeringSpirit #SERC #WorkYouCanBeProudOf #GasIndustry #DAC #DirectAirCapture #GeothermalEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #CarbonCapture
