  1. (Enabling) Business Opportunities in Clean Tech Tod Perry Sweden-U.S. Entrepreneurial Forum September 2009 NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy operated by Midwest Research Institute • Battelle

  2. Energy Challenges Economy Security • Economic Development • Energy price volatility •Affordability • Secure supply • Reliable Infrastructure All three imperatives must be simultaneously addressed Environment • Carbon mitigation • Land and water use

  3. Energy (Entrepreneurship) Challenges • “Energy entrepreneurship is much harder than entrepreneurship in other sectors…” • -Bill Aulet, MIT Sloan Senior Lecturer & Entrepreneur in Residence Multi-dimensional knowledge: sciences, technologies, knowledge monitization, markets, manufacturing, etc. Longer time frame: EnerNOC vs. Evergreen Solar. How does this work with 10-15 year VC funds? Larger scope and scale: $10s-100s investment required per technology/company Public perception and emotion. Energy: a right or privilege? Government affairs: regulation, subsidies, price setting National Renewable Energy Laboratory Innovation for Our Energy Future
