NextEnergy develops collaborative programs to advance key technologies or industry sectors in two strategic areas:
Alternative Fuels
Critical to weaning the United States off of foreign oil is the development of home-grown alternative fuels. Currently we have two programs under this initiative. If you are engaged in similar activities, contact us to ask how we can help you.
National Biofuels Energy Laboratory
Projects to accelerate standardization of biodiesel products, and to develop novel feed stocks and production processes.

Alternative Power Generation
As America’s demand for electricity increases exponentially, so too must we find expansion opportunities in wind, solar and other renewable energies, as well as innovations in our systems and infrastructure. Currently we have three programs under this initiative. If you are engaged in similar activities, contact us to ask how we can help you.
Renewable Energy Technologies
Projects that increase capacity for renewable energy power generation, or that develop technologies that strengthen use of these energy sources.
