Michael Crow is the first university president named to the TIME100 Climate list, an honor he says is recognition of ASU’s growing impact. A prime example is how the university has become a powerhouse of progress in climate-related action, including groundbreaking discoveries in sustainability. Among achievements are Cody Friesen’s solar-powered technology that generates water from sunlight and air, Klaus Lackner’s system for direct air capture to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and Bruce Rittmann’s work on a team that developed a new method to help microorganisms destroy “forever chemicals.” Friesen, Lackner and Rittmann are faculty members in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools.
