Lighting the way to a genuinely sustainable future
By Duggan Flanakin |January 13th, 2022|Energy
Arizona State University prides itself as a world leader in innovation. Under the leadership of President Michael Crow since July 2002, the university has undergone a “rapid and groundbreaking transformative evolution” into one of the world’s best public metropolitan research universities.
Under Crow’s leadership, ASU has established 25 new transdisciplinary schools, including the School of Earth and Space Exploration, the School for the Future of Innovation in Society, and the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. ASU has long had a strong focus on energy, including projects on grid operation and advanced concepts on electricity transmission, microgrids, biofuels, and biosciences, with a “dollop of solar energy” also in the mix.
Perhaps the most exciting work at the Tempe based institution is the LightWorks® initiative, which bills itself as providing solutions to the world’s most pressing global fuel, electric, and social challenges through the simple idea of energy from sunlight.
