Aquagga to commercialize Colorado School of Mines PFAS destruction technology
HALT-PFAS is widely regarded as one of most promising solutions for tackling 'forever chemicals' and was patented at Colorado School of Mines.
A promising technology for the destruction of so-called “forever chemicals” developed by Colorado School of Mines researchers has been licensed by a cleantech startup that aims to use the Mines-patented process to halt the growing environmental and public health challenge posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.
Aquagga, Inc., a Tacoma, Washington-based Public Benefit Corporation originally spun out of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and University of Washington, has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Mines for the commercialization of the HALT-PFAS technology, which was developed in a Mines laboratory and recently granted a U.S. patent.
