Cleantech.org Launches

Welcome to the launch of CleanTech.org. This website is the only place in the world where you can do one-click submissions to any number of investors, incubators, angel networks, and investment conferences for energy and clean technology.

Our mandate is to be the access point for the growing number of individuals and companies seeking to become involved in the sector. We seek to allow these participants to develop networks with each other, and to access information and resources to facilitate commercialization of clean technologies through an interactive experience.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
 
Cellulosic Ethanol - Always the Bridesmaid?
by Neal Dikeman, CleantechBlog

I have a new set of predictions for ethanol technology, and so far my predictions on ethanol have been dead on. Cellulosic ethanol has been the thin film of the ethanol industry, always the bridesmaid. But perhaps, like with the breakthrough by First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR), it’s time is coming.

I have written extensively on the topic of ethanol and biofuels, including an early 2006 analysis of the VeraSun (NASDAQ:VSE) IPO right before its pricing that predicted an appropriate price at the time in the range of $2.77 to $8.82 share. The business has grown since then, but EBITDA margins have slipped even farther than I predicted they would, but the forward PE has come right into line with my predictions way back then. After listing well above my range, the stock hit a high north of $30 before pulling back until it is finally in my original lrange, trading in the $7-8 per share range.


Bicarb Cleans Up Stack Gas Emissions
by Edward Beardsworth, UFTO Notes

The same baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) sold in grocery stores and used for a 101 things around the home is also one of the best solutions to scrub emissions from coal-fired power plants. Purification of flue gas emissions using sodium bicarbonate has always been recognized as a highly effective process for removing SO2, SO3, NOx and heavy metal compounds from flue gas. However, sodium bicarbonate scrubbing has 3 serious drawbacks:


INVESTOR SPOTLIGHT
 

Clean Pacific Ventures
San Francisco, CA

Clean Pacific Ventures is a venture capital fund that invests in promising early stage clean technology companies. Clean Pacific focuses primarily on clean technologies related to energy, water, agriculture and materials.

Clean Pacific intends to target companies needing the first institutional round of $1-3 million to commercialize and expand their current businesses.

FEATURED OPPORTUNITY
 
Selective Elimination of NOX from Exhaust Gases

AIST has developed significantly improved electrochemical reactors for the selective elimination of NOx in exhaust gases containing oxygen. The cells for NOx decomposition were developed by nano-scale control of pores penetrating from the top to the bottom surface of the catalytic electrode layer, and by distributing grains at these interfaces, which conduct ions and electrons and have crystallographic attributes, thus constituting the electro-catalytic electrode of the cells.

UPCOMING EVENTS
 




Ceres Conference 2008

The national conversation about sustainability has reached a fever pitch. While the debate rages about what it means to build a cleaner, greener, more sustainable future, the window for effective action – to address climate change, save entire ecosystems, and reduce global poverty – is quickly passing. What opportunities for action lie before us? What innovative solutions can we identify and deploy – now?
