Arizona State University will lead a consortium of public and private groups on a $15 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy that will examine test beds for algae research.
The grant, announced Tuesday, potentially puts ASU at the top of a small class of algae researchers, said Gary Dirks, director of ASU’s LightWorks, the university’s research component for all things dealing with sunlit energy technologies.
“It puts Arizona in the research and early-development stage as a leader in the U.S., if not the world,” he said.
