The industry-academic partnership aims to advance research, development and commercialization of energy storage technologies in a collaborative appointment among Johnson Controls, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) and the Wisconsin Energy Institute (WEI) in the University of Wiscon

After acquiring his PhD here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison almost nine years ago, George Huber has since spent his time as a professor of chemical and biological engineering both leading his own research group and teaching young minds the fundamental principles of chemical engineering.

In 1954, a highly accomplished 65-year-old chemistry professor named Farrington Daniels “sought solace in the sun, the poor man’s atomic power plant” – according, that is, to his wife Olive.

In June of 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its first ever guidelines for reducing carbon emissions from existing power plants. Called the Clean Power Plan, it proposes cutting carbon pollution in the power sector by 30 percent from 2005 emission levels by 2030.
