Burning fossil fuels and creating nuclear reactions to generate electricity comes at a high cost – politically and environmentally. Alternative methods are limited and come with tradeoffs. The answer to these problems is right under our feet.
Not too far below the surface of the Earth, it’s hot. That heat can create enough clean energy to power the world, and help keep things cool above. Using cables made from graphene, a form of pure carbon 100 times stronger that steel, that heat can be conducted to the surface of the Earth to run turbines and generate electricity – without burning anything.
Dr. Yogi Goswami’s notable career in solar energy collided with indoor, in 1995 when his efforts to aid his son’s debilitating asthma symptoms were met with frustration and disillusion. What he found were products attempting to solve the problem of indoor air quality by filtering the air, but unable to fundamentally solve this problem.
Charged with a unique motivation to help his ailing son, Dr. Goswami turned toward his own expertise and research at the University of Florida. He started with a fundamental question: could the principles of solar technology be used to clean the air? With a combination of nanotechnology, light and a lot of determination, he developed a revolutionary new approach. After two decades of academic research, countless publications, and multiple patents—the technology behind Molekule was born.
