OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Sept. 23, 2015—Small
businesses in the clean energy sector are invited to apply for
assistance from the Department of Energy’s national laboratories
through the department’s new Small Business Vouchers Pilot.
David Danielson, DOE Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), announced the launch of the pilot website during EERE’s Industry Day event at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
As part of EERE’s National Laboratory Impact Initiative,
the pilot aims to help small businesses bring next-generation clean
energy technologies to the market faster by enabling them to access
expertise and specialized equipment at DOE’s national labs.
The $20 million pilot will match clean energy small businesses with experts from DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, as well as other participating DOE labs.
More than 100 small businesses selected through the pilot’s merit
review process will receive $50,000 to $300,000 vouchers to exchange
for national lab technical assistance or initiate collaborative
research projects. The assistance will focus on a specific technical
challenge identified by the small business.
The
pilot focuses on assisting small businesses developing technologies in
the following areas: advanced manufacturing, buildings, vehicles, wind,
water power, bioenergy, fuel cells, geothermal and solar. To be
eligible to apply, businesses must be U.S.-based and -owned with no
more than 500 full-time employees worldwide. A total of three cycles of
competitions will be offered to interested small businesses in 2015 and
2016.
Businesses are invited to apply at http://www.SBV.org.
