TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Platform to Accelerate Discovery of Tailored Industrial Enzymes (PAD-TIE)
Contact and place of performance
Michael Erickson
Los Alamos, NM 87545
USA
NREL and Los Alamos National Laboratory’s PAD-TIE platform is an advanced screening system designed to accelerate the discovery and optimization of enzymes that break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most widely used plastics. The Challenge: Traditional enzyme development is slow and requires testing individual enzymes under controlled conditions. PAD-TIE overcomes this limitation by simultaneo...

The Department of Energy, through its contractor Triad National Security, LLC, is offering a technology licensing opportunity for the Platform to Accelerate Discovery of Tailored Industrial Enzymes (PAD-TIE). Developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, this advanced screening system is designed to accelerate the discovery and optimization of enzymes that break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The platform performs high-throughput screening of tens of thousands of enzyme variants simultaneously under industrially relevant conditions, evaluating enzyme efficiency, stability, and production potential without the use of harsh chemicals or energy-intensive processes.
The technology is currently at Technology Readiness Level 6, featuring a full system prototype that has been validated in lab-scale bioreactors replicating industrial recycling environments. PAD-TIE is intended for applications in recycling and waste management, bioremediation, polymer manufacturing, and the development of sustainable materials. The licensing program offers access to this patent-pending technology to existing and start-up companies through exclusive and non-exclusive licensing agreements to move these laboratory inventions into commercial innovations.
