Sustainable energy transition

Pioneering clean energy systems

Berkeley Engineering is advancing the development of new materials, devices, and technologies, all of which contribute to the creation of energy systems that are significantly more efficient than those currently in use. We are committed to moving beyond fossil fuels, aiming to lower greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants responsibly and fairly.

One of the ways Berkeley Engineering is advancing sustainable energy transitions is through more efficient batteries to help move energy systems away from fossil fuels. Read more about how researchers led by Ravi Prasher, adjunct professor of mechanical engineering at UC Berkeley and senior scientist at Berkeley Lab, are achieving extremely fast charging speeds for commercial lithium-ion batteries.
