DOE Announces $30 Million in New Small Business Grants

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu has announced that $30 million in funding from the Recovery Act and FY 2010 budget appropriations will be made available to qualified small businesses to support the commercialization of promising new clean energy technologies.

Clean energy technologies utilize natural energetic processes that can be harnessed with little pollution, such as anaerobic digestion, geothermal power, wind power, small-scale hydropower, solar energy, biomass power, tidal power, and wave power.
