Algae Energy
ASU scientists are working to make cost-effective, renewable fuel from algae. Milton Sommerfeld, co-director of the Laboratory for Algae Research and Biotechnology, explains how.
Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation
John McGowen, project manager for the Sustainable Algal Biofuels Consortium (SABC), discusses work at Arizona State University on biochemical conversion of algae to fuels and other products. SABC is funded by a $6 million Department of Energy grant, as part of a program focused on algae-based biofuels.
Converting Sunlight into Electricity
ASU graduate students and researchers are working on an alternative energy source. They are creating organic solar cells to make electricity using sunlight. This research project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences. This video was created by ASU Broadcast Journalism student, Gitzel Puente.
Cyanobacteria For Solar-Powered Biofuels
Produced by ASU undergraduate student Gitzel Puente, a member of the Research and Economic Affairs Communications Team.
Cyanobacteria on Horizon
ASU researchers are growing fuel from fatty acids that they harvest from photosynthetic bacteria. Willem Vermaas, Professor in the School of Life Sciences discusses with Horizon host, Ted Simons.
Energy Revolution
R.F. “Rick” Shangraw, Jr., vice president for Research and Economic Affairs, discusses the need for an alternative energy revolution in order to achieve energy independence and security. This video was produced by ASU undergraduate student Laura Palmisano, a member of the Research and Economic Affairs Communications Team.
Green Fuel
ASU researchers are optimizing tiny, photosynthetic bacteria to produce a sustainable, high-yield fuel that can be used in conventional engines. This video was produced by KAET/Eight for ASU Research Stories.
Introducing LightWorks
Gary Dirks, director of LightWorks, discusses this new initiative to position ASU as a leader in solar-based energy and other light-inspired research with Horizon host, Ted Simons.
LightWorks - A New Energy
LightWorks pulls light-inspired research at ASU under one strategic framework. It is a multidisciplinary effort to leverage ASU's unique strengths, particularly in renewable energy fields including artificial photosynthesis, biofuels, and next-generation photovoltaics.
LightWorks Lab
In the fall semester, a group of graduate students created their own models for a laboratory space that could be used for light-inspired research at LightWorks. These graduate students are part of ASU's Herberger Institute of Design & the Arts. This video was created by Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance student, Alexander D. Chapin and Walter Cronkite School student, Gitzel Puente, who work as videographers/editors with the OKED communications team.
LightWorks Solutions
LightWorks pulls light-inspired research at Arizona State University under one strategic framework. Through a series of transdisciplinary initiatives, LightWorks is addressing the toughest energy challenges in Arizona and around the world. Produced by OKED communications.
Microbes for Bioenergy
Regent’s Professor Bruce Rittman, director of the Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, talks about the center’s work in managing microbial communities to provide services to society.
Sustainable Algal Biofuels Consortium
Milt Sommerfeld, co-director of the Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI) at Arizona State University, explains the purpose of the center and some of the services it offers to the Algae industry and research community. AzCATI is a public-private partnership between ASU and Science Foundation Arizona.
Sustainable Bioreactor
Research relies on nature to mimic the power of sunlight. This video was created by ASU student and OKED Communications Assistant Laura Palmisano.
