Helping to bring more of the world’s population reliable access to clean, safe, resilient and affordable sources of energy is the mission of the Laboratory for Energy And Power Solutions. Director Nathan Johnson, an associate professor in  The Polytechnic School, part of the Fulton Schools, says fulfilling that goal is a significant way ASU can go beyond education and research to providing impactful public value. Among its efforts, the lab is working to provide better energy access to remote communities, make advances in using microgrids for electrification to replace unreliable energy sources and supporting countries in transitioning to clean energy sources to help develop productive and environmentally healthier low-carbon and zero-carbon businesses and economies.
