Energy Dept. Awards $13 Million in Small Business Grants
New York Ag Connection - 05/24/2018

As part of a $34 million announcement by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Rick Perry for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) research and development projects, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) will fund 87 new projects across 34 states, totaling nearly $13 million in funding.

DOE technology offices award Phase I grants to small businesses that demonstrate technical feasibility for innovations during the first phase of their research. Most Phase I awards are for $150,000 for less than one year. If completed successfully, Phase I projects are eligible for Phase II. Phase II funding awards provide up to $1 million or up to $1.5 million, depending on the technology, and an award known as a sequential Phase II award can provide up to an additional $1 million.

Nine EERE technology offices are funding 10 Phase I topic areas (Advanced Manufacturing I & II, Bioenergy, Buildings, Fuel Cells, Geothermal. Solar, Vehicles, Water, and Wind) across 29 subtopics. In New York, EERE-funded projects include:

- OLEDWorks LLC, Rochester , which received $150,000 to develop a flexible system of internal light extraction and transparent electrode technology that will greatly improve the energy efficiency while reducing the cost of OLED light, thereby increasing market adoption.

- Maalka, New York, received $150,000 developing an integrated building modeling and program management platform for cities, utilities, and private organizations to drive broad adoption of energy efficiency technologies that will improve energy security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

- ecoLong, Slingerland, received $149,996.22 to address the rise in distributed energy resources requires new technologies that enable prosumers to transact directly with each other for meeting their energy needs. ecoLong's proposed solution will use revolutionary technology to allow consumers, solar owners, and utilities to directly transact with each other to maximize economic and technological benefits.

- LCDrives Corp., Potsdam, received $150,000 to develop a medium speed generator for wind turbines that will dramatically reduce the cost of wind power. This lower cost will allow more wind to be built.
