Utility of the Future Center
Arizona State University is in a unique position to launch the nation’s first Utility of the Future Center designed to assist utilities, regulators and consumers in making the move to a clean energy future.
What are the Solutions?
LightWorks solutions bring together expertise and resources from the university and external partners to develop key solutions to energy issues. In addition to the below examples, LightWorks is focused on providing operational energy solutions that are directed toward enhancing energy security to encourage efficiency and conservation.
AzCATI
The Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation partners with the rapidly growing algae industry to propel Arizona into the forefront of innovation in biofuels and bio-product research and development.
QESST Center
QESST uses quantum mechanics to solve challenges to harnessing solar power in economically viable and sustainable ways.
Arizona Solar Summit
The Arizona Solar Summit seeks to position Arizona as the global leader in solar energy through world-class market, industry, policy, and research capabilities.
LightSpeed Solutions
LightSpeed Solutions is a collaborative effort among multiple institutions to develop energy systems that use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce sustainable, scalable, and infrastructure-compatible liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
Sustainable Algal Biofuels Consortium
The primary objective is to evaluate biochemical (enzymatic) conversion as a potentially viable strategy for converting algal biomass into lipid-based and carbohydrate-based biofuels. Secondary objective is to test the acceptability of algal biofuels as replacements for petroleum-based fuels.
