The article discusses the transition from university research to industry applications, highlighting Twelve, a Berkeley-based startup founded by Etosha Cave and her colleagues. Twelve aims to tackle fossil fuel dependence by converting CO2 emissions from industrial waste into synthetic fuels using innovative technology derived from Cave's PhD research. The startup emerged through the Cyclotron Road Project, offering essential resources to facilitate commercialization. This underscores the potential of academic-industry partnerships in driving developments in clean energy and sustainability.
Cave emphasizes the urgency of translating academic research into market-ready solutions, stating, "It was going to die if we didn't bring it outside."
The technology developed by Twelve shows the potential of academia-industry collaborations, with its foundation rooted in Cave's PhD research at Stanford.
