Navy participation in the DOE Algae Testbed Public Private Partnership (ATP 3), and projects aimed to progress ASU’s Zero Waste goal are a few among many efforts predicted to come out of the partnership. Navy through the Office of Naval Research Global and LightWorks are looking forward to furthering collaboration specifically in accelerating research and technology to market.

University faculty, research staff and students are already working with AORA to enhance the system. AORA Solar NA signed a contract with ASU to provide research options aimed to increase efficiency, improve reliability, utilize the exhaust heat and decrease the cost of this Israeli-developed technology. The Solar Tulip produces power 24/7, moving seamlessly from solar to natural gas or biogas. Confronting these challenges leads to a vision that ASU will continue to inspire and develop ways to revolutionize the global use of energy and the large scale conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into useful products.ĪORA Solar NA has agreed to install the first ever Solar Tulip, a hybrid concentrated solar system, in the United States which will be located at ASU. With a proven performance of swiftly and strategically partnering with a diverse set of institutions, LightWorks continued to unite resources and researchers across Arizona State University to confront global energy challenges. As we prepare to bid farewell to 2014, we would like to take a moment to reflect upon some highlights and accomplishments made during this year.
