Stanford researchers have developed a process for synthetic palm oil production that is environmentally friendly and can be implemented locally by farmers.
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 have developed a low-cost, efficient, and reliable market platform system to monetize underutilized distribution system assets called Automatic Power Exchange (APEX).
A team of Stanford engineers has developed an efficient battery that can convert salinity gradient power (a.k.a. “blue energy”) into electricity using low-cost, non-toxic electrode materials.
Stanford researchers have developed an architecture and control scheme for the coordination of distributed energy resources (DER), such as solar and storage, to minimize operation cost, enhance network reliability, and provide DER aggregation.
Researchers in Dr. Alfred Spormann's lab have developed a method of using co-cultures to enhance microbial electrosynthesis to allow more efficient production of desired products such as biofuel.
Engineers in Prof. Arunava Majumdar's laboratory have formulated high-entropy phase-change materials that can split water to produce hydrogen at moderate temperatures using a scalable, carbon-free process.
