CHP (Combined Heat and Power) units produce simultaneously heat and power from fuel gas, resulting in higher efficiency compared with separate provision of heat and power.
Micro Cogeneration CHP units in a wide range of small-scale applications both in public and private sectors, including schools, restaurants, nursing homes, health centers, offices, hotels and leisure centers, with a typical electrical power demand below 35 kW.
Efficiency is especially high in colder regions due to high demand for waste heat for heating or hot water supply.

The widespread distribution of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in the environment has ignited health concerns and has caused the government to set stricter standards of acceptable PFC concentration in municipal water. In 2009 the EPA published that only values of 0.4 µg/L for PFOA and 0.2 µg/L for PFOS are acceptable in drinking water. The decreased standard raises a need for better perfluorocarbon water filtration technology. Technology Description: Faculty at the University of Arizona have proposed a sorbent to effectively remove perfluorinated compounds from water.

Stanford engineers have developed a method for identifying modeling and estimating energy usage patterns. A utility provider may use this data as an incentive for consumers to shift energy consumption away from peak hours. In recent years energy utility companies have rolled out advanced infrastructures while smart meters collect detailed data about users’ energy consumption. Using smart meter and weather data the Stanford model identifies those consumers whose variable usage would be most effective in balancing peak supply and demand.

Background: Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are the best candidates for cars buildings and other small applications. The advantage of these types of fuel cells is that they can operate at relatively low temperatures and can vary their output to meet shifting power demands. Market potential is high because of fuel cells’ abilities as portable generators and batteries in military and other applications as off-grid power systems for homes and businesses and in powering automobiles.

Background: The University of Florida is seeking companies interested in commercializing an innovative cost-efficient and safer LED form of the traditional theatrical lighting system. The system utilizes LED technology to provide a more efficient light source that last up to up 10 years under continuous 24 hour operation compared to incandescent sources with a 6 month life span under the same 24 hour operation.

Background: Indoor air pollution has been identified as being among the top five environmental health risks. Air contaminants stem from both the components of the building itself and human activities and natural conditions in and around the building. There are a multitude of indoor environments that require air pollution monitoring - ranging from aircrafts and submarines to commercial buildings and storage units. Current methods to sample and monitor air contaminants are expensive difficult to use for those not trained in the field and intrusive to the area they monitor.

Stanford researchers have developed a novel non-tracking and low cost solar concentrator - Axially Graded Index LEns: AGILE - that has potential to change the economy of the solar cell industry. The AGILE concentrator enables cost-effective utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) installations by simplifying the design construction installation and most importantly; the maintenance of high-concentration (~1000 suns) concentrated solar PV systems.

The fuel cell is an energy conversion device that produces electricity through the electrochemical reaction of a fuel and oxidative gas. Polymer electrolyte fuel cells e.g. proton-exchange membrane fuel cells using hydrogen gas as fuel and direct methanol fuel cells are clean energy sources with high power density and high energy conversion efficiency. They can replace fossil fuels and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Moreover polymer electrolyte fuel cells can operate at ambient temperature and be miniaturized and sealed.
