Why Clean Energy Companies Fail• Not level playing field• Don’t know the game• Rules are complex for grants-cost share, in-kind,

program management and rate structures• Technology focused not market focused• Infrastructure for clean tech is in its infancy– 2008 World Bank says international is the opportunity

• Big energy just now getting engaged• Lack of product maturation and market validation

The Problem: Information for Decisions

This year, the federal government will invest nearly $1billion in gathering biological data.

These data are frequently not digitized, standardized, integrated, or accessible.

Useful information, provided in appropriate context, is needed by policymakers, businesses, not for profit organizations, and the public. . .

. . .and re-creating data and the data delivery infrastructure for individual projects is prohibitively expensive.

1993 recommendation by National Research Council special panel: CreateCreate NBII

1998 recommendation by President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology: Expandxpand NBII to a $40 million/year system for five years.

The Solution: NBII

NBII - Data Integration and Dissemination (Infrastructure, Standards, Content, Tools, Training)

Species Dictionary - ITIS

Biological Information - NBII Partners

National Landscape - GAP

Integration leads to many benefits -- the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

Summary

• Modeling and simulation technologies provide core support for validating energy technology;

• Business services combined with professional engineering and scientific services provide a value in solving complex problems;

• Value added resellers (VARs) utilize high volume sales and a “rolodex” of suppliers and distributers to bring technology to market;

• New manufacturing techniques will be needed for the emerging energy market; and

• Capitalization of emerging energy technology is critical and new paradigms for partnering will emerge.
