LightSpeed Solutions is Setting Out to Change the Way the World Views Energy
For quite some time, people from all over the country—industry leaders, experts in the field, students, researchers, protestors, and every day citizens—have had one goal in mind. A few years ago, this goal seemed light years away, but now its arms length away.
What do they want? Sunlight to Fuels.
When do they want it? In the next 10-15 years.
LightSpeed Solutions is a team dedicated to discovering a more sustainable future and includes researchers, scientists, engineers, and experts in the field at various universities and laboratories. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, including electro-chemistry, mass transport, economics, policy, systems engineering, heat, photo-catalysis, and much more. Major partners include Arizona State University, Princeton University, Yale University, Sandia National Laboratories, and the University of Minnesota.
Leading the team is Gary Dirks, director of LightSpeed Solutions. With a doctorate in chemistry and extensive experience in the energy field, Gary is leading his team to a clean and successful future. In addition to guiding the LightSpeed Solutions team, Gary also is the director of ASU LightWorks, a multidisciplinary effort to leverage ASU's unique stren
gths, particularly in renewable energy fields including artificial photosynthesis, biofuels, and next-generation photovoltaics.
Creating fuels from the power of the sun is not simple task, that’s why LightSpeed Solutions is comprised of people with a passion for moving our world into energy independence and creating a brighter future for generations to come.
Using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight, the team hopes to produce clean transportation fuel and commercialize it, in hopes that it will be able to compete with fossil fuels. They took the basic concept of photosynthesis and applied it to fuels, generating a cleaner fuel that can power the world in the years to come. This revolutionary science is a breakthrough in the energy industry, and as this team continues to convert their passion in sustainability into fuel for the future, more doors will be opened and solutions found.
