With energy costs up and electricity demand climbing, Stanford researchers are leading efforts to make clean power affordable and reliable for all while cutting the emissions that drive climate change. Their work ranges from deep underground heat to solar on farms, renewable fuels, and upgrades for the power grid and batteries.

A new solar-powered microgrid at the O’Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm will meet on-site energy needs while providing students with hands-on experience in agroecology, energy systems, and the clean-energy transition.

A decade ago, the O’Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm was established after years of student advocacy. Today, it thrives as a hub for teaching, research, and campus life.
