The Department of Energy plans to invest $105 million in small business-led research and development projects that will focus on creating technologies that could help address the impacts of climate change.
DOE said Monday that previous grantees under the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs are eligible to pursue the clean energy R&D funding opportunity.
Awardees will aim to implement technologies designed to generate energy from natural resources, monitor the atmosphere, take carbon dioxide out of the air and promote sustainable agriculture.
The department added that award recipients can seek supplemental funds to support research efforts involving entrepreneurs from underrepresented populations.
