UCI Thermal Energy Storage Tower
UCI Thermal Energy Storage Tower is the world’s first commercial hydrogen fuel cell power plant. Situated near Bren Events Center on campus, this groundbreaking initiative uses methane from Anaheim Natural Gas pipeline to produce clean and renewable electricity while also producing hydrogen for vehicles that use fuel cells.
This project holds great national significance as it marks the first commercially operated hydrogen fuel cell power plant in the US. This landmark represents an important step toward creating cleaner transportation fuel and an economy-transforming technology.
UCI’s current microgrid portfolio comprises electric vehicle charging, hydrogen fueling for fuel cell vehicles, two-axis tracking concentrated solar PV systems, building retrofits and demand response services. UCI substation transformers do not impose capacity limitations that impede performance; this allows more flexibility within the system to help meet local capacity constraints on distributed energy resources.
UCI Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international movement to uphold survivors and support current patients as well as raise money for research. At UC Irvine, researchers are supporting efforts to develop treatments that could provide relief to thousands of women and men living with this condition.
At nighttime across campus, the Student Center is lit in pink to show support for individuals battling this illness and to remind people about early detection and screening as an important means to increase survival rates.
UC Irvine has a longstanding partnership with Uganda, where its students serve as volunteers providing medical services in response to Ebola. The university has set up treatment centers across northern and western Uganda where Ebola virus prevalence is most severe, placing its students on the front lines of global health crises by helping with diagnosis, treatment, linkage to care services, etc.
