Ind-USEnergy Efficiency Initiative(IEEI)
Improving Industrial Energy Efficiency through Research, Innovation, and Collaboration
Advancing Industrial Energy Efficiency: Indo–US Webinar Series
The IndUS Energy Efficiency Initiative is a webinar-driven platform led by Oregon State University to advance industrial energy efficiency by reducing and recovering energy waste across systems. The initiative focuses on practical solutions that address losses from waste heat, mechanical inefficiencies, and pressure streams, integrating applied research with emerging tools such as Artificial Intelligence to enable real-world impact.
The platform brings together academic experts, industry professionals, and stakeholders to exchange ideas, discuss latest advancements, and address growing challenges in energy efficiency. Through structured engagement, the initiative aims to move beyond discussion towardcollaboration, pilot development, and technology deployment.

The growing use of portable and wearable electronics has increased the need for flexible, safe, and sustainable energy-storage devices. This presentation highlights our work on advanced supercapacitor electrodes using biomass-derived nanocellulose, carbon nanomaterials, emerging two-dimensional materials, and transition-metal oxides deposited through DC/RF magnetron sputtering technology. It explores how precisely controlled sputtered coatings, binder-free electrode designs, surface engineering, and electrolyte selection influence electrochemical performance. Life-cycle assessment is also used to examine the energy, water, and material requirements of electrode production. Finally, the challenges of scalable fabrication and future perspectives of energy-storage devices will be discussed.
