TS-Nano, a startup spun out of the University of New Mexico (UNM) and headquartered at Albuquerque’s BioScience Center, is making waves in the oil and gas sector with its eco-friendly cement additive technology. Backed by a CAD $700,000 grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta, the company is conducting field trials in Canada of its nano-modified polymer cement, which enhances cement’s sealing capability and reduces methane emissions from abandoned oil wells.
With successful operations already in the Permian Basin and Canada, TS-Nano is also setting its sights on global expansion. The company has plans to enter the California and Australian markets this year, with Europe and the Middle East also on the horizon.
CEO and Founder Dr. Mahmoud Taha, a longtime UNM professor and expert in cement, polymers, and nanotechnology, is leading TS-Nano’s efforts to raise a $10 million Series B round to fuel its next phase of growth.
