TAU announces new 'supercenter' for renewable energy

powerhouse including all the non-technological aspects, such as economics, law, and public policy, for making clean technology a reality in Israel and beyond."

In his opening address, TAU President Prof. Zvi Galil called the mass adoption of renewable energy sources a matter of economics. "Our challenge is to develop technologies for higher yield, more cost-efficient production of energy from renewable sources another green revolution for a famine of energy rather than food. This is the key contribution that research universities can make," he said.

"It is here that the research is advanced, that green energy technology companies look to improve their products," he said, adding that "Tel Aviv University is well positioned to take a major part in this new green revolution. In fact, we already have multidisciplinary teams working on solar and wind energy and on bio-mass for bio-fuels." Such solutions, Prof. Galil pointed out, could lessen the increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions now being produced by emerging economies such as China and India.

Linking innovation, academia and policy, Tel Aviv University is expected to be a top center in the world in the renewable energy field.

Small Steps, Then Giant Leaps

Tel Aviv University researchers believe that both incremental and transformational technologies can push the renewable energy market forward. Incremental technologies will produce more efficient solar panels, for example, while transformational technologies will change the very way we use energy like the hyper-efficient batteries being developed at Tel Aviv University for storing and transporting energy from intermittent sources such as wind and sun.

TAU Prof. Amram Eshel is growing desert plants for use as a renewable fuel, using marginal lands and reclaimed sewage and saline water a solution that doesn't compete with food crops. Prof. Kribus' own Solar Energy Laboratory is increasing the
