Transphorm says that its solutions cut energy waste by 20% and simplify the design and manufacturing of a wide variety of electrical systems and devices, including motor drives, power supplies and inverters for solar panels and electric vehicles. To tackle that problem, Transphorm is commercializing a high-voltage normally off GaN solution.

MIT engineers have genetically engineered strains of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to boost the production of lipids by about 25% compared to previously engineered yeast strains. Lipids, specifically fatty-acid-derived lipids, are important feedstocks for the fuel and oleo-chemical industries.

These fermentation processes create carbon as a byproduct, with some processes wasting more than 1/3 of this carbon as CO 2 emissions. At commercial scale, the inputs to the proposed “carbon refinery” process are carbon-free renewable energy, water, and CO 2. National Renewable Energy Laboratory. University of California, Davis.

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. Until now, the energy storage field has had two options to try to drive down costs—high volume production or entirely new chemistries that may never move from the lab to the commercial floor.
