Summary |
Requirements |
||
| Electric Vehicles | 1 | Clever design on high-quality light-duty pick-up trucks, to be built in US; MSRP under $25,000. | $12 Million |  |
| Electric Vehicles | 2 | Unique e-bike design with dozens of enthusiastic dealers already in place. | $2 Million | |
| Wind | 3 | Wind farm in the southern US, will implement compressed air energy storage using top-flight engineering team. Terrific technology; perfect application. | $25 Million | |
| Biomass | 4 | Pyrolysis of guaranteed stream of feedstock (waste auto/truck tires) to produce carbon black and biodiesel. World-class technology, proven team. | $30 Million | |
| Biomass | 5 | Unique, patented approach to thermal anaerobic gasification. |
$39 Million |
|
| Biomass | 6 | An “omnivorous” modular biomass machine whose patented pyrolysis technology has been operating successfully in Eastern Europe for almost three consecutive years. Perfect for waste-tire, unrecyclable plastics, etc. | $4 Million | |
| Biomass | 7 | Construction and demolition waste processing plant, using feedstock currently paying a tipping fee of $75+/ton. | $35 Million | |
| Solar Thermal | 8 | Two small CSP plants in the western US, implementing a breakthrough in cost reduction. Attractive IRR. PPAs in place. | $15 Million | |
| Synthetic Fuels | 9 | Breakthrough in use off-peak wind energy to recycle waste CO2 into transportation fuels. | $40 Million | |
| Energy Storage | 10 | A breakthrough in zinc-air battery technology – soon to offer (15,000 cycle) rechargeable batteries at $165/kWh. Will have huge impacts on electric transportation and large-scale utility storage. | TBD | |
| Intelligent Building Management | 11 | The most cost-effective means for commercial, institutional and government buildings to achieve their ultimate energy efficiencies, and potential independence from the grid, while being real-time reactive to individuals, environments, and markets. | $5 Million | |
| Hydrokinetics | 12 | A unique approach that applies nicely to hydrokinetics in high head conditions, e.g., waterfalls or steep rapids. In the right conditions, it’s an excellent solution to providing clean power to certain parts of the world. | $5 million | |
| Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) | 13 | There are numerous entities with pre-commercial OTEC projects somewhere in the R&D stage. We’re connected with the group that we believe to be furthest along, with a rich and talented team, and live projects in both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. | $10 million | |
| Low-Speed Electric Vehicles | 14 | One of the engineers on the original GM EV-1 project has formed an impressive team and jumped into the entrepreneurial world with a terrific design for a versatile low-speed battery electric vehicle, perfect for city or private fleets. | $10 million | |
| Teak Reforestation | 15 | Hardwoods, especially teak, can only become more valuable as the world’s population of consumers grows, coupled with heightened restrictions on logging. Here’s a group that offers to sell, plant, care for, harvest, and process teak trees over their 20-year life span, providing an attractive ROI in the ultimate socially responsible investment. A rare case in which assets are growing every day — literally. | Variable–$25,000 and up | |
| Aeroponics | 16 | Advanced concept in aeroponics (growing produce in a carefully controlled mixture of water, air, and minerals) sells directly to progressive supermarket chains, as well as through distribution. The company is already garnering great publicity, as its mission directly addresses several key issues facing society: locally grown foods, organic farming, world hunger, and scarcity of water in developing countries. | $1 million | |
| Ocean Current | 17 | Of all the attempts to harness the enormous amount of energy that exists in the strong and predictable ocean currents, I believe this makes the most sense. It’s a unique approach and capability that results in very high reliability and survivability, at an extremely attractive cost. | $5 Million | |
| Biomass | 18 | Patented pyrolysis technology to be deployed in one of the world’s largest cities to convert 3000 tons of MSW per day into 130 megawatts of electricity plus ancillary products. 25-year power purchase agreement is solidly in place, signed off at the highest level of government. | $400 Million | |
