WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2015 - The Department of Energy (DOE) has established the Clean Energy Investment Center to support its Clean Energy Investment Initiative, which was launched in February. The center’s goal is to advance private, mission-oriented investment in clean energy technologies and make the department’s resources more readily available to the public. The Clean Energy Investment Center offers:
· Single Point of Access for Information: The
center will ensure that information about DOE programs is understandable and
accessible. It will serve as a “one-stop” for investors to locate subject
matter experts, acquire the latest reports and data on clean energy technology,
and find a listing of companies and projects funded by the agency. This
information will enable investors to make informed decisions based on DOE’s
research and analysis.
· Technical Assistance: The center will share
research and analysis produced by DOE and its 17 national laboratories on developments
in clean energy technology.
· Information on Early-Stage Projects and
Companies: DOE currently has programs including the Advanced Research Projects
Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), Small
Business Technology Transfer (STTR), and others that help fund and accelerate
emerging early-stage technology projects and companies. The center will provide
information on entities currently engaged in partnerships with DOE.
· Connections to Additional Relevant U.S.
Government Programs: The center will include information about energy and
climate programs at other government agencies including the departments of Agriculture,
Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Treasury as well as the Environmental
Protection Agency, Small Business Administration and the National Science
Foundation.
