Cultivating robust partnerships with industry

Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership fosters collaboration between industry and academic experts to accelerate the development and implementation of innovative energy and environmental solutions. As a corporate membership program, it positions organizations to engage with academic experts, Princeton students, and partners from diverse sectors. With five new members joining the program during the 2024-2025 academic year, E-ffiliates members represent key enablers of the clean energy transition from across the value chain, from financial services and consulting companies to technological innovators and manufacturers.

Komline

Komline is a global leader in developing separation technologies that create clean water, food, and sustainable chemicals and materials. From potable water, wastewater treatment and stormwater management to equipment that facilitates renewable resource processing and industrial manufacturing, Komline supports everyday processes that power the world. As an E-ffiliates member, Komline has a keen interest in developing ways to not only remove PFAS from drinking water, stormwater, biosolids and industrial discharge but also destroy PFAS compounds so they do not return to the environment — a critical step to solving the PFAS problem. The company’s close proximity to Princeton University also offers special engagement opportunities for students and researchers across engineering disciplines, allowing them to explore real-world applications of their research.

New Jersey Resources

New Jersey Resources is a Fortune 1000 energy infrastructure company that, along with its subsidiaries, provides energy services including transportation, distribution, asset management, and home services. As an E-ffiliates member, New Jersey Resources is working with Z. Jason Ren to explore the nexus of energy and water resource recovery. One project underway involves investigating how treated effluent from water resource recovery facilities could be used for hydrogen electrolysis.

Clearway Energy

Clearway Energy is one of the largest clean energy owners and operators in the U.S., with over 11.8 GW of wind, solar, battery, and flexible generation capacity in 26 states, generating enough electricity to power 2 million homes. As a member of E-ffiliates, Clearway Energy is identifying opportunities for student engagement to educate and inspire students to consider career pathways in the energy sector.

Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas)

Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas) is a U.S. subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, a leading investment and trading company that operates businesses across a variety of industries, including minerals, materials, energy, transportation, and food. As an E-ffiliates member, the company seeks to better understand the opportunities and challenges facing deployment of new energy and environmental technologies. The company also plans to engage with Princeton’s ecosystem of energy and environmental startups.

Elevion Group

Headquartered in the Netherlands, Elevion Group is a European provider of end-to-end decarbonization and higher energy efficiency solutions. The company provides a wide range of services across industries, including solutions for energy efficiency in buildings, process management and optimization, and sustainable energy such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and biogas. As a member of E-ffiliates, Elevion will collaborate with Princeton researchers who specialize in industrial efficiency and decarbonization and those developing innovative building management systems for reducing the energy footprint of the built environment. They will also interact with Princeton students to showcase potential career pathways in energy.
