GRT Inc was founded as a privately-held Delaware C corporation by Dr. Jeffrey Sherman. The company objective was to identify and develop new technologies for natural gas conversion to higher value products. GRT initiated and funded research and development at UCSB jointly by GRT employees and UCSB scientists. The discovery in 2001 of the solid reactant technology by the team showed that the production of methanol and dimethyl ether could be achieved from methane. The breakthrough was the identification of unique, regenerable, solid reactants for the selective conversion of bromine-activated hydrocarbons ( including natural gas constituents ) to higher value fuels and chemicals. The first of numerous U.S. patents and appropriate foreign patents were obtained to protect the intellectual property for commercialization.
