Viaduct Innovative Technologies is a U.S.-based advanced materials and process technology company founded in 2022. The company focuses on developing and commercializing microwave-enabled conversion technologies for the production of carbon-based materials and other valuable industrial products.
The company is housed at the West Virginia University Innovation Corporation (WVUIC) in Morgantown, West Virginia, where it conducts research, development, and commercial activities. Viaduct specializes in microwave-based conversion processes capable of producing carbon nanotubes, hydrogen, ammonia, and other useful products derived from carbon- and energy-rich feedstocks.
The core technologies underlying Viaduct’s platform have benefited from more than $6 million in combined investment through West Virginia University–administered Department of Energy grants and private funding. These investments supported fundamental research, process development, and scale-up efforts that enabled the transition of the technologies toward commercial readiness. Viaduct was formed to carry these technologies forward into commercialization.
By combining microwave processing, materials science, and applied engineering, Viaduct aims to bridge the gap between academic research and deployable industrial technologies. The company’s focus is on building scalable, practical solutions that support advanced manufacturing, materials, and energy markets while maintaining a strong domestic innovation footprint.
