Stanford researchers have developed a process for synthetic palm oil production that is environmentally friendly and can be implemented locally by farmers.
Stanford researchers at the Zare Lab, Department of Chemistry, have developed a simple and eco-friendly method that could potentially produce substantial amounts of ammonia and urea, both of which are primarily used in fertilizer.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a frequency-selective MHz power amplifier for generating dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. Commercial applications include plasma-assisted nitrogen fixation for fertilizer production.

Stanford inventors have developed a cell-free method for carbon-negative biosynthetic production of commodity biochemicals by using hydrogen gas as a source of reducing equivalents.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have proposed a method to synthesize metabolic cofactors from inexpensive substrates for protein synthesis and commodity production applications.
Stanford researchers in the Kanan group have developed a electrolysis cell for generating and extracting liquid and gas product streams from CO and CO2.
Stanford researchers have shown how to use fluorescent and phosphorescent materials to provide plants with photons in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) range for increased crop yields and CO2 fixation.
Researchers in Prof. Thomas Jaramillo's laboratory have developed an electrochemical method for local production of ammonia that simultaneously solves an environmental problem while also producing a valuable chemical product with a massive global market.
Researchers in Prof. Elizabeth Sattely's laboratory have developed a high-yield, scalable plant-based protein expression system to produce lignin-degrading enzymes for converting waste lignin into useful carbon-based platform chemicals.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers have invented a fully water-soluble, orange hydrazine sensor that can robustly quantify the toxin hydrazine in liquids such as drinking water, waste water (treated and untreated), and bodily fluids.
Stanford researchers at the Jaramillo, Nørskov, and Cargnello Labs have developed an improved system to generate NH3 (ammonia) from N2 and H2O via a low-pressure, electro-thermochemical, sustainable alternative to the conventional Haber-Bosch p
