New technology

Considerations before applying for a new technology

Eligible pyrolysis carbon capture technology to participate in the small-scale systems.

To take part, you must apply for new technology accreditation.

You should first familiarise yourself with some basic patent law and principles in order to have some idea as to what a patent is and whether your invention is patentable.

It is important to note that this technical endorsement does not replace the legal status of intellectual property patent applications. You should firstly go for patent protection and secondly submit the technology accreditation to us.

If your technology has been granted a patent certificate, third parties may then utilize the technology on a fee-for-service basis. 

Once technology has been accredited, you will be able to create small-scale technology systems certificates (STSC) for your carbon capture sites.

You can make recognised patented technology available on a fee-for-service basis through us:

● to the BidCarbon Standard Scheme

You must comply with obligations to maintain your accreditation.

Prior art search

A technology invention must be new. You should conduct a prior art search to make sure your invention fulfills this requirement.

Self assessment

You may want to carefully assess whether your invention is worth accreditation. Here are some factors you may wish to consider:

● Costs of accreditation application

● Commercial worth of your technology

● Financial and licensing issues

● Time and effort in pursuing patent and protection

● Complexities of applying for a accreditation and requisite knowledge and experience in the area
