Nanostellar develops advanced catalysts for an array of applications that include emissions control, energy efficiency, and the synthesis of chemicals and fuels. These solutions are developed using the Company's innovative and proprietary Rational Design Methodology. This methodology incorporates computational models, algorithms and subject matter expertise in nano-materials and advanced synthetic chemistry.
The Company has commercialized its first product in diesel vehicle emissions control and is in the pre-commercial testing phase with its second emissions control product. Its pipeline includes catalysts for non-automotive applications such as hydrogen peroxide production, synthesis gas (syngas) reformation and waste-heat recovery systems. These solutions satisfy essential market needs such as complying with emissions control standards at lower cost, reducing harmful by-products of industrial processes, cost-effectively generating alternative fuels, and increasing energy efficiency for heating and cooling.
The company is located in Silicon Valley, California, and is funded by venture capital and other private investors. It was founded in 2004 by scientists from Stanford University and NASA Ames Research Center.

In 2008 the World Economic Forum recognized Nanostellar as a Technology Pioneer, an honor it bestows on approximately 30 companies every year. These companies represent some of the most cutting edge start-ups from around the globe whose innovations are expected to have a critical impact on the future of business and society. In 2011 Nanostellar was named as a top emerging catalyst company by Lux Research, an independent research and advisory firm providing strategic advice and on-going intelligence on emerging technologies.
