Green Plug Announces Series B Investment
In Its Environmentally-Friendly DC Power Technology
Investment Bolsters Emerging Consumer Electronics Standard,
Will Hasten Market Adoption of Digital Power Protocol
SAN RAMON, CALIF. (February 3, 2010) – Green Plug (www.greenplug.us), the first developer of digital technology enabling collaboration between electronic devices and their power sources, today announced that it has closed a Series B investment led by Herald Investments UK, Killik & Co. and Peninsula Venture Partners. While the amount of the investment was not disclosed, the Series B pre-money valuation is higher than the company’s Series A round, announced in January 2008.
Green Plug will apply the investment proceeds to effectively deliver its solution and expand customer engagements for its Greentalk™ digital power protocol and Greenwire™ multi-function physical layer technologies.
The funding announcement comes on the heels of a recently announced agreement with Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE:IMG - www.imgtec.com), which will help to deliver both a zero increase in bill-of-materials costs and dramatically reduce time-to-market for Green Plug-enabled devices. Imagination, a leading provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) intellectual property (IP), is a strategic partner and shareholder, which has entered into a partnership with Green Plug that will enable it to use the market-leading real-time processing capabilities of Imagination's META™ processor for the next generation of Green Plug Power Processor TM technology for power supplies. Imagination will additionally be offering a soft IP core, allowing semiconductor and OEM companies to easily implement Green Plug client functionality for integration in future consumer electronics SoCs and devices.
PURE (www.pure.com), a world leader in digital radio and a division of Imagination Technologies, has also announced plans to enable Green Plug functionality in select radio products and is poised to introduce a smart power adapter accessory.
“With this new investment round, look for Green Plug to become native within power management and other controller chips, making it even easier for consumer electronics vendors to turn-on Greentalk in their products,” said Frank Paniagua, Jr., Green Plug CEO. “Our smart power protocol is exactly what CE products need to be completely efficient while addressing the e-waste crisis.
“We’re more committed than ever to fixing the ‘broken power model,’” Paniagua said. “More than two billion external power supplies were designed, manufactured and shipped last year alone, and that’s simply unacceptable – that’s waste the planet can’t afford, and that our solution helps to eliminate.”
The initial step in transforming from dumb power adapters into smart power solutions is to enable electronic products to communicate over the power connector. While thousands of consumers have voiced their preference for more convenient, reusable power adapters on www.iwantmygreenplug.com, the perception that doing so would entail added cost in what was a difficult year for CE product vendors proved an impediment to rapid adoption. Now, with the simpler “enablement” process that the Green Plug/Imagination partnership makes possible for many products, this impediment has been removed.
Using the new technology, any device can communicate with Green Plug-enabled power supplies directly over the power cable or through wireless transmission to the device, in many cases without adding any extra components. Consumers will have the option of using the free, vendor-provided power adapter or of purchasing a power accessory that will work with all Green Plug-enabled CE products and can be configured to simultaneously power 2, 4, 8 or more products, each with unique power requirements.
Green Plug is the first green technology company to apply two-way digital communication to convert power from a universal power source to a device’s specific power requirements. The Greentalk power protocol enables devices to collaborate with power supplies to dynamically monitor and control them, minimizing power consumption under different operating conditions. Highly efficient, stylish DC power hubs enabled with Green Plug’s Green Power Processor (GPP) chip are able to simultaneously power multiple devices, each with its own specific voltage and power requirements. Green Plug technology also minimizes solid waste by allowing consumers to keep these smart power adapters and battery chargers for use with future devices long after their current devices have become obsolete.
Armando Castro, Partner at Reed Smith, leads the company’s counsel.

Green IPO Watch at Renewableenergystocks.com Reports on Tesla Motors $100 Million IPO
Electric Car Maker Files S1 Registration
POINT ROBERTS, WA – February 1, 2010 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within www.Investorideas.com,
reports Tesla Motors, Inc has filed an S1 Registration on January 29th with the SEC for a $100 Million IPO.
Underwriters include Goldman, Sachs & Co., Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank Securities.
Tesla Motors, based in Palo Alto, California, designs, manufactures and sells high-performance fully electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components.
According to the filing , the company as of December 31, 2009 had sold 937 Tesla Roadsters to customers in 18 countries.
The company reports in the filing,” The Tesla Roadster, our first vehicle, showcases our technology and illustrates our leadership in electric vehicle innovation. Introduced in 2008, the Tesla Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, but produces zero tailpipe emissions. The Tesla Roadster has a battery pack capable of storing approximately 53 kilowatt-hours of usable energy, almost double the energy of any other commercially available electric vehicle battery pack. The Tesla Roadster has a range of 236 miles on a single charge, as determined by an independent third party using the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s, or EPA’s, combined two-cycle city/highway test. Recently, the EPA announced its intention to develop and establish new energy efficiency testing methodologies for electric vehicles, which we believe could result in a significant decrease to the advertised ranges of all electric vehicles, including ours. The Tesla Roadster reportedly set a new world distance record of 313 miles for a production electric car in a rally across Australia as part of the 2009 Global Green Challenge. To date, our customers have driven their Tesla Roadsters an estimated 3.0 million miles.”
More from the filing:
Automotive Sales
“To date, most of our revenues have been generated through sales in the United States. We had no revenues from sales outside of the United States prior to the third quarter of 2009 and revenue from sales outside of the United States represented 14% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our international sales commenced with the launch of the Tesla Roadster in Europe in July 2009.
Automotive sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in the amount of $0.6 million were derived primarily from the sale of ZEV credits. ZEV credit sales increased from $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Although we did not recognize revenue from the sale of Tesla Roadsters during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we generated ZEV credits from the delivery of vehicles during such period which we sold to a third party automobile manufacturer. As sales of the Tesla Roadster increased during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, sales of ZEV credits also increased.
Substantially all of the increase in automotive sales to $93.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to sales of the Tesla Roadster. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, we recognized revenue related to the sale of 706 Tesla Roadsters. A significant portion of the revenue recognized during this period came from fulfilling reservations placed prior to 2009.”

Secretary Chu Announces Closing of $1.4 Billion Loan to Nissan -to build advanced electric automobiles and an advanced battery manufacturing facility
News & Stories Published at Clean Energy Stocks Blog
Secretary Chu Announces Closing of $1.4 Billion Loan to Nissan -to build advanced electric automobiles and an advanced battery manufacturing facility
Project expected to provide up to 1,300 Jobs in Tennessee
Washington D.C. --- U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced today that the Department of Energy has closed its $1.4 billion loan agreement with Nissan North America, Inc. to retool their Smyrna, Tennessee factory to build advanced electric automobiles and an advanced battery manufacturing facility. The two projects are expected to create up to 1,300 American jobs and conserve up to 65.4 million gallons of gasoline per year – an amount equal to six times the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez in 1989.
“This is an investment in our clean energy future. It will bring the United States closer to reducing our dependence on foreign oil and help lower carbon pollution,” said Secretary Chu. “We are committed to making strides to revitalize the American auto industry and supporting the development of clean energy vehicles.”
Nissan plans to use the proceeds from the loan to produce its all-electric vehicle, the LEAF, at its existing Smyrna, Tennessee plant. Nissan will offer electric vehicles to fleet and retail customers, and plans to ramp up production capacity in Smyrna up to 150,000 vehicles annually.
Nissan is pursuing a global strategy of transitioning to electric vehicles. Building a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Smyrna, to produce 200,000 battery packs annually, is a significant part of that strategy. Nissan is also laying the groundwork in developing an infrastructure in the US to support electric vehicles. The company has formed partnerships with states, counties, municipalities, and electric utilities to prepare markets for the introduction of electric vehicles including the installation of charging stations.
Today’s announcement marks the third loan arrangement agreement signed by DOE with an advanced technology vehicle manufacturer. In September 2009, DOE signed its first loan agreement for $5.9 billion to Ford Motor Company. Last week, DOE also signed a $465 million loan agreement with Tesla Motors, which will be used to build manufacturing facilities in California for electric power-trains and Tesla's Model S electric sedan. The Department has also signed a conditional commitment with Fisker Automotive to build plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Tenneco, Inc. became the first advanced technology component manufacturer to obtain a conditional commitment from DOE in October of last year.
The Department was provided $7.5 billion for credit subsidy costs by Congress to cover up to $25 billion in direct loans to companies making cars and components in US factories that increase fuel economy at least 25 percent above 2005 fuel economy levels.
The agreement was negotiated and signed through the Department’s Loan Programs Office, which supports the development of innovative, advanced vehicle technologies to create thousands of clean energy jobs while helping reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

Governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island Invest in Renewable Energy on the Farm
NEW LONDON, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND--- Jan. 30, 2010 - The Governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island are partnering to help farmers reduce energy costs and generate new income opportunities through renewable fuels.
This investment of $9.9 million will support two projects that will help to improve farmers' profitability, improve environmental sustainability of Canadian agriculture and help drive the Canadian economy.
"Farmers have always been good stewards of the land and they know that investing in the environment is key to their future success," said Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea. "Canada's Economic Action Plan is boosting our economic recovery by helping farmers find new markets, adapt to current economic challenges and make their businesses more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable."
The federal investment under the AgriFlexibility fund, part of Canada's Economic Action Plan, totals $5.9 million for two new projects:- $4.2 million for the Renewable Energy Initiative, that will audit and promote the use of agriculture-based renewable energy sources and equipment; - $1.7 million for the BioEconomy Crop Initiative, that will evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of crops such as fall rye, perennial grasses and hybrid willows to plant and harvest for energy generation; "Energy represents a significant cost for producers, and we are pleased to partner with the federal government and the industry to help address this issue," said Prince Edward Island Agriculture Minister George Webster.
"Through these new initiatives, producers will be able to reduce their costs, develop new markets and benefit the environment. This initiative is part of the provincial government's Rural Action Plan which supports new and innovative energy projects to improve the competitiveness of the agriculture industry."The province is investing $2.8 million in the Renewable Energy Initiative and $1.2 million in the BioEconomy Crop Initiative. Funding is subject to the projects meeting all eligibility requirements and the signing of contribution agreements.Canada's Economic Action Plan will remain focused on strengthening the economy, while working towards returning to balanced budgets and securing Canada's economic future.

SEC Issues Interpretive Guidance on Disclosure Related to Business or Legal Developments Regarding Climate Change
SEC Issues Interpretive Guidance on Disclosure Related to Business or Legal Developments Regarding Climate Change
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
www.sec.gov
Text of Chairman's Statement Washington, D.C., Jan. 27, 2010 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to provide public companies with interpretive guidance on existing SEC disclosure requirements as they apply to business or legal developments relating to the issue of climate change.
Federal securities laws and SEC regulations require certain disclosures by public companies for the benefit of investors. Occasionally, to assist those who provide such disclosures, the Commission provides guidance on how to interpret the disclosure rules on topics of interest to the business and investment communities. The Commission's interpretive releases do not create new legal requirements nor modify existing ones, but are intended to provide clarity and enhance consistency for public companies and their investors.
The interpretive release approved today provides guidance on certain existing disclosure rules that may require a company to disclose the impact that business or legal developments related to climate change may have on its business. The relevant rules cover a company's risk factors, business description, legal proceedings, and management discussion and analysis.
"We are not opining on whether the world's climate is changing, at what pace it might be changing, or due to what causes. Nothing that the Commission does today should be construed as weighing in on those topics," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro. "Today's guidance will help to ensure that our disclosure rules are consistently applied."
Specifically, the SEC's interpretative guidance highlights the following areas as examples of where climate change may trigger disclosure requirements:
Impact of Legislation and Regulation: When assessing potential disclosure obligations, a company should consider whether the impact of certain existing laws and regulations regarding climate change is material. In certain circumstances, a company should also evaluate the potential impact of pending legislation and regulation related to this topic.
Impact of International Accords: A company should consider, and disclose when material, the risks or effects on its business of international accords and treaties relating to climate change.
Indirect Consequences of Regulation or Business Trends: Legal, technological, political and scientific developments regarding climate change may create new opportunities or risks for companies. For instance, a company may face decreased demand for goods that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions or increased demand for goods that result in lower emissions than competing products. As such, a company should consider, for disclosure purposes, the actual or potential indirect consequences it may face due to climate change related regulatory or business trends.
Physical Impacts of Climate Change: Companies should also evaluate for disclosure purposes the actual and potential material impacts of environmental matters on their business.
The SEC's interpretive release will be posted on the SEC Web site as soon as possible. www.sec.gov

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
www.sec.gov
Text of Chairman's Statement Washington, D.C., Jan. 27, 2010 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to provide public companies with interpretive guidance on existing SEC disclosure requirements as they apply to business or legal developments relating to the issue of climate change.
Federal securities laws and SEC regulations require certain disclosures by public companies for the benefit of investors. Occasionally, to assist those who provide such disclosures, the Commission provides guidance on how to interpret the disclosure rules on topics of interest to the business and investment communities. The Commission's interpretive releases do not create new legal requirements nor modify existing ones, but are intended to provide clarity and enhance consistency for public companies and their investors.
The interpretive release approved today provides guidance on certain existing disclosure rules that may require a company to disclose the impact that business or legal developments related to climate change may have on its business. The relevant rules cover a company's risk factors, business description, legal proceedings, and management discussion and analysis.
"We are not opining on whether the world's climate is changing, at what pace it might be changing, or due to what causes. Nothing that the Commission does today should be construed as weighing in on those topics," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro. "Today's guidance will help to ensure that our disclosure rules are consistently applied."
Specifically, the SEC's interpretative guidance highlights the following areas as examples of where climate change may trigger disclosure requirements:
Impact of Legislation and Regulation: When assessing potential disclosure obligations, a company should consider whether the impact of certain existing laws and regulations regarding climate change is material. In certain circumstances, a company should also evaluate the potential impact of pending legislation and regulation related to this topic.
Impact of International Accords: A company should consider, and disclose when material, the risks or effects on its business of international accords and treaties relating to climate change.
Indirect Consequences of Regulation or Business Trends: Legal, technological, political and scientific developments regarding climate change may create new opportunities or risks for companies. For instance, a company may face decreased demand for goods that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions or increased demand for goods that result in lower emissions than competing products. As such, a company should consider, for disclosure purposes, the actual or potential indirect consequences it may face due to climate change related regulatory or business trends.
Physical Impacts of Climate Change: Companies should also evaluate for disclosure purposes the actual and potential material impacts of environmental matters on their business.
The SEC's interpretive release will be posted on the SEC Web site as soon as possible. www.sec.gov

Solar Stocks News - GT Solar (NASDAQ: SOLR) Signs More than $40 Million in New Contracts with GCL-Poly
Solar Stocks News - GT Solar (NASDAQ: SOLR) Signs More than $40 Million in New Contracts with GCL-Poly
Leading Chinese Solar Company Purchases Equipment, Technology and Know-How from GT Solar
MERRIMACK, N.H.----GT Solar International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOLR), a global provider of specialized production equipment, process technology and turnkey manufacturing services for the solar power industry, today announced that it has signed contracts in excess of $40 million with two wholly owned subsidiaries of China-based GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited (“GCL-Poly”). The first agreement, with Jiangsu Zhongneng Polysilicon Technology Development Co., Ltd., is for GT Solar’s best-in-class Trichlorosilane (TCS) Production Technology Solution. The second, with Jiangsu GCL Silicon Material Technology Development Co. Ltd., is for GT Solar’s market-leading Directional Solidification System (DSS) furnaces and ancillary equipment. These contracts represent the first purchases of GT Solar equipment and services by GCL-Poly and its subsidiaries.
“We are pleased to welcome GCL-Poly as a new GT Solar customer for both our polysilicon and photovoltaic equipment businesses”.GT Solar’s TCS Production Solution includes all of the technology and basic engineering services required to produce TCS, one of the primary raw materials used to manufacture polysilicon. GT Solar’s DSS furnaces are used to melt polysilicon and grow multi-crystalline ingots, which are utilized to produce solar wafers and, ultimately, solar cells.
“GCL-Poly is committed to providing high-quality and cost-competitive solar raw materials by adopting the best-in-class technologies and equipment,” said Mr. Zhu Gong Shan, executive director, chairman and chief executive officer of GCL-Poly. “We chose to purchase the TCS Production Solution and DSS units from GT Solar because of their proven expertise in both polysilicon production and ingot crystallization. GT Solar’s TCS production solution should help to improve the quality and lower the cost of our polysilicon operations. Their expected timely delivery of the DSS furnaces should help to ensure that our new ingot and wafer production facility can be up-and-running in 2010.”
“We are pleased to welcome GCL-Poly as a new GT Solar customer for both our polysilicon and photovoltaic equipment businesses,” said Tom Gutierrez, GT Solar’s president and chief executive officer. “Our relationship with GCL-Poly further strengthens our market position in China and reinforces our role as a technology leader.

And, our TCS Production Technology Solution represents another win for this leading technology that should help to significantly lower the production cost of polysilicon.”

Deutsche Bank and Masdar Launch Private Equity Fund Dedicated to Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy with a $265 Million First Close
Deutsche Bank and Masdar Launch Private Equity Fund Dedicated to Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy with a $265 Million First Close
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates January 18 2010--Masdar and Deutsche Bank today announced the launch of the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund and its first closing, raising $265 million. This fund brings together for the first time the deep sector knowledge and scope of the Masdar Initiatives with the global asset management and research capabilities of Deutsche Bank.
“In these challenging economic times, the size of this first close and quality of participants demonstrates a profound confidence in climate change investing and in the joint DBCCA and Masdar investment team”
Co-managed by Masdar Venture Capital1 and DB Climate Change Advisors (DBCCA), the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund seeks to build a diversified venture capital and private equity portfolio that will include some of the world’s most promising and pioneering clean tech and renewable energy companies. The Fund will invest primarily in expansion and later stage companies in the clean energy (power generation, storage), environmental resources (water, waste management) and energy and material efficiency (advanced materials, building and power grid efficiency, enabling technologies) sectors.
“Completing first close on the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund is a clear statement of intent,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Masdar’s CEO. “We understand both the financial and social value of companies that are tackling global environmental challenges; we are committed to supporting them by providing capital investment and management expertise.”
“We look forward to this unique fund building a portfolio containing best-in-class companies which will benefit greatly from access to the scope of the Masdar Initiatives and the global reach of Deutsche Bank, the leading global financial institution in this space,” he added.
The Fund has attracted investment from some of world’s leading organisations concerned with climate change issues. The initial investor group is led by Siemens and includes the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Japan Oil Development Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of INPEX CORPORATION, Nippon Oil Corporation, Development Bank of Japan and GE.
“In these challenging economic times, the size of this first close and quality of participants demonstrates a profound confidence in climate change investing and in the joint DBCCA and Masdar investment team,” said Kevin Parker, Global Head of Deutsche Asset Management (DeAM) and member of Deutsche Bank’s Group Executive Committee.
“Siemens is very happy to be the lead investor in the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund,” said Joachim Kundt, CEO of Siemens in the Lower Gulf region. “Our active involvement for the second time in a fund associated with Masdar demonstrates our ongoing commitment to clean technology, and we look forward to continuing our work with the Masdar Initiative and building on our already strong relationship with Deutsche Bank.”
The joint DBCCA and Masdar investment team is based in Abu Dhabi, New York and London and combines a wide range of experience in clean tech and private equity investing within the renewable energy industry.
The Fund’s co-managers are actively identifying and evaluating potential investment opportunities globally and expect to complete a number of investments over the next year. In addition to the considerable financial resources of the Fund, portfolio companies will benefit from the added value that comes through association with the Fund’s influential sponsors, co-managers and investors.

Haiti Relief Efforts Double with Installed Solar Lights
Haiti Relief Efforts Double with Installed Solar Lights Sol, Inc. donation allows hospitals, food distribution, and relief camps to operate past dusk
PALM CITY, Fla., Jan. 15 - Millions of dollars of relief may never reach Haitians in time unless roadways, relief camps, hospitals and distribution areas can operate past dark.
Donating $300,000 and organizing relief efforts for Haiti, Sol, Inc. is no stranger to the effect solar lights have on safety and security. With over 40,000 solar lighting systems installed in over 60 countries on six continents, Sol, Inc. CEO Rick Schuett knew that the Sol, Inc. team had the expertise and desire to make a real difference.
"The Board of Directors chaired by Michael Sonnenfeldt, along with Sol, Inc. employees felt compelled to assist the victims of this earthquake," said Rick Schuett, CEO of Sol, Inc. "We know that once our solar lighting systems are installed, we will effectively double the amount of available relief effort time by allowing aid workers and rescuers to work around the clock when previously operations had to cease at dusk. In addition, our lighting systems will provide safety and security as well as being a hallmark that civility is being restored to the area."
The total donation is expected to exceed $400,000 with assistance from suppliers, donations and a solar light matching program.
Facilitating the assistance to Haiti is not a small task.
Sol, Inc. is working with Florida Congressman Rooney's Stuart office, several relief agencies and government agencies to transport the solar lights from Florida and get them installed in Haiti as quickly as possible. Missionary Flights International - http://www.missionaryflights.org - based in Ft. Piece has graciously agreed to fly some of the solar lighting systems as well as Sol, Inc. volunteers. Sol, Inc. is working with other relief organizations such as World Vision - http://www.worldvision.org , Unicef - http://www.unicef.org and Hands On Disaster Response - http://www.hodr.org to coordinate the installation, local logistics and security for the traveling team.
In addition, Sol, Inc. is dispatching a 44' catamaran donated by local entrepreneur Deane Blazie of Jupiter Island, which is scheduled to leave late Sunday or Monday (depending on weather). The boat will remain in Haiti for the next several weeks providing ground support and logistics.
Several of Sol, Inc.'s suppliers have generously donated time and materials including Alliance Composites Inc., C & L Technologies, Citizen Electronics, Haze Battery U.S.A., Karl Lust and SPOSTO Interactive, allowing Sol, Inc. to increase the number of solar light systems that will be available to the relief efforts.
"Our efforts will continue," said Schuett. "If you or your organization would like to donate money, medical supplies, water or equipment, please contact us immediately. Sol, Inc. is also actively seeking air and ocean transportation avenues for forthcoming donations."
Victor Sotolongo is coordinating the Solar Lights Donation logistics for Sol, Inc. Call, text or email him at 772.205-9987 or v.sotolongo@solarlighting.com .
Sol will be providing additional lights through a special ongoing Solar Lights for Haiti matching program it has established. For every solar light system purchased, Sol, Inc. will match the donation with a second solar light system. To support the solar lights for Haiti relief effort, visit http://www.solarlighting.com and click "Donate Light to Haiti Earthquake Victims."
Sol, Inc.'s solar light philanthropy program has assisted victims and volunteers in disaster recovery. Past recipients include: Hurricane Katrina Recovery Lighting (2005), Hurricane Rita Recovery Lighting (2005), Peruvian Earthquake Relief (2007), and Chapman, Kansas Tornado Redevelopment Lighting (2009). For more information about Sol, Inc.'s charitable outreach program visit: http://www.solarlightingusa.com/community-outreach.html

California Governor Launches Cobalt Technologies Low Carbon Fuel Plant Cobalt's Commercial Process for Producing Clean Biofuel and Chemicals Praised f
California Governor Launches Cobalt Technologies Low Carbon Fuel Plant Cobalt's Commercial Process for Producing Clean Biofuel and Chemicals Praised for Job Creation, Innovation
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., -- Cobalt Technologies, the leader in commercializing biobutanol as a renewable fuel and chemical, today formally launched its first facility. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Silicon Valley cleantech leaders were on hand, demonstrating the importance of clean technology to the state's future economic vitality.
"It is great companies like Cobalt that will help California meet our greenhouse gas reduction targets under AB 32 and our Low Carbon Fuel Standard," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "Cobalt shows us that what is good for the environment can also be good for the economy. In fact, within the next few years, Cobalt has plans to build an even larger plant that will create 1,300 permanent jobs. I want that plant and those jobs right here in California. That's why, in my State of the State address, I announced a Jobs Initiative that we estimate could create 100,000 jobs with one piece of this proposal exempting the purchase of green-tech manufacturing equipment from the sales tax. This proposal will help California attract and retain green businesses and create the jobs of the future. I want every CEO, entrepreneur and innovator to know that if you're investing in a cleaner future, California will invest in you."
Cobalt biobutanol is an ideal fuel for California and the world. Cobalt uses non-food feedstock, such as forest waste and mill residues, and its technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent compared to gasoline. A 12 percent blend of Cobalt biobutanol with gasoline, already permissible under US EPA guidelines, complies with the requirements of California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
Cobalt's form of biobutanol (n-butanol) is very versatile. It can be used as a standalone fuel; blended with gasoline, diesel and ethanol; converted into jet fuel or plastics, or sold as is for use in paints and coatings. Butanol packs more energy than ethanol and is less polluting. In addition, it is a drop-in fuel, and is fully compatible with today's automobile engines and pipeline infrastructure.
"Cobalt is leading the race to bring economic next generation biofuels to market," said Rick Wilson, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cobalt Biofuels. "Based on the technology breakthroughs we have achieved, and the successful operation of our plant, we are on track to build a commercial facility within two years, and we are currently building a network of strategic partners in the fuels, chemicals, forest products, and construction industry to deploy our technology at the next scale. The Governor's leadership in clean technology policy, like the proposed sales tax exemption for green manufacturing equipment will help accelerate commercialization and make California an attractive place to site a plant."
One commercial-scale Cobalt plant employs 1,300 permanent green collar jobs at the plant and surrounding area, and adds more than $250 million annually to the state's GDP, according to a market study commissioned by Cobalt.
Cobalt is backed by leading investors in the cleantech sector, including Pinnacle Ventures, Vantage Point Venture Partners, Burrill and Company, Malaysian Life Sciences Capital Fund, Life Science Partners (LSP), @Ventures, and Harris & Harris.
About Cobalt Technologies
Cobalt Technologies replaces petroleum and petrochemicals with a highly versatile, profitable and renewable alternative – biobutanol. The company's technology and engineering platform offers a continuous process to efficiently convert diverse non-food feedstocks – beginning with waste wood – into biobutanol, an ideal building block for a wide range of bio-based products, including fuels, chemicals and plastics. With the best production rates and margins in the market for cellulosic butanol, Cobalt provides a commercial solution with greater capital efficiency and improved production facility economics. Cobalt is based in Mountain View, CA.

Combatting Climate Change by Investing in Cleantech: Government of Canada Announces Cleantech Companies to Receive $58 Million
Combatting Climate Change by Investing in Cleantech: Government of Canada Announces Cleantech Companies to Receive $58 Million
WATERDOWN, ONTARIO - Sixteen clean technology projects from across Canada will receive $58 million in funding to help move innovative technology solutions to the market. The announcement, confirming the decision of the Board of Directors of Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), was made today by the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Natural Resources, and Vicky Sharpe, SDTC's President and CEO.
"Our Government continues to help bring innovative renewable energy technologies from idea to marketplace," said Minister Raitt. "Investing in these projects will stimulate the growth of a domestic clean energy industry, create high-quality jobs for Canadians and help protect our environment."
"Through SDTC, the Government of Canada is helping cleantech companies convert their new technologies into market-ready products," said SDTC Chairman Juergen Puetter. "When these companies bring their technologies to businesses and consumers, they create jobs, provide Canada a technological edge and contribute to an overall reduction in Canada's greenhouse gas emissions".
These innovative clean technologies involve many of Canada's main economic sectors, including energy utilization, transportation and waste management. Some highlights of this round include:
- Technologies that will help reduce the environmental impacts of the transportation sector by using renewable energy such as electricity and hydrogen to power vehicles.
- Biomass-related technologies that will add value to Canada's forestry and agricultural industries, furthering the development of a bio-based economy.
These new investments bring SDTC's total portfolio value to over $1.5B. SDTC's SD Tech FundTM has completed fifteen funding rounds, committing $464 million to 183 clean technology projects, and leveraging over $1B from project consortia members. These figures include adjustments made to the portfolio.
SDTC's investments to date are creating Canadian green jobs, have leveraged additional private sector investment of nearly $900 million and are expected to deliver an overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of between 5 and 12 Megatonnes - the equivalent of taking up to 1.5 million homes off the grid.
"The projects included in this funding round show Canada's great potential and confidence in the cleantech sector," said Vicky Sharpe, SDTC President and CEO. "Companies and countries around the world are looking to buy clean technologies. It's through such promising innovations that Canada can seize the cleantech opportunity and become a technology seller to the world."
The newly funded projects are representative of the investment priorities established in the SD Business CasesTM, a series of six reports published by SDTC and which provide strategic insights into specific economic sectors (available in the Knowledge Centre section of the SDTC website at http://www.sdtc.ca/). The latest report on industrial freight transportation was released on December 2, 2009. Other sectors previously studied include clean conventional fuels, renewable electricity and commercial buildings.
SDTC will be launching its next call for Statements of Interest (SOI) for the SD Tech Fund on February 24, 2010. Applicants with projects that bring technological solutions which fall under the investment priorities established in the SD Business CasesTM and that address climate change, clean air, clean water and clean soil issues are encouraged to apply. Solutions that address more than one of these issues are of greatest interest.
About SDTC
SDTC is an arm's-length foundation created by the Government of Canada which has received $1.05 billion as part of the Government's commitment to create a healthy environment and a high quality of life for all Canadians.
SDTC operates two funds aimed at the development and demonstration of innovative technological solutions. The $550 million SD Tech FundTM supports projects that address climate change, air quality, clean water, and clean soil. The $500 million NextGen Biofuels FundTM supports the establishment of first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities for the production of next-generation renewable fuels.
SDTC operates as a not-for-profit corporation and has been working with the public and private sector including industry, academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the financial community and all levels of government to achieve this mandate.

California Governor LAUNCHes COBALT TECHNOLOGIES low carbon fuel PLANT
California Governor LAUNCHes COBALT TECHNOLOGIES low carbon fuel PLANT
Cobalt’s Commercial Process for Producing Clean Biofuel and Chemicals Praised for Job Creation, Innovation
Mountain View, CA – January 12, 2010 – Cobalt Technologies, the leader in commercializing biobutanol as a renewable fuel and chemical, today formally launched its first facility. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Silicon Valley cleantech leaders were on hand, demonstrating the importance of clean technology to the state’s future economic vitality.
“It is great companies like Cobalt that will help California meet our greenhouse gas reduction targets under AB 32 and our Low Carbon Fuel Standard,” said Governor Schwarzenegger. “Cobalt shows us that what is good for the environment can also be good for the economy. In fact, within the next few years, Cobalt has plans to build an even larger plant that will create 1,300 permanent jobs. I want that plant and those jobs right here in California. That’s why, in my State of the State address, I announced a Jobs Initiative that we estimate could create 100,000 jobs with one piece of this proposal exempting the purchase of green-tech manufacturing equipment from the sales tax. This proposal will help California attract and retain green businesses and create the jobs of the future. I want every CEO, entrepreneur and innovator to know that if you’re investing in a cleaner future, California will invest in you.”
Cobalt biobutanol is an ideal fuel for California and the world. Cobalt uses non-food feedstock, such as forest waste and mill residues, and its technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent compared to gasoline. A 12 percent blend of Cobalt biobutanol with gasoline, already permissible under US EPA guidelines, complies with the requirements of California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
Cobalt’s form of biobutanol (n-butanol) is very versatile. It can be used as a standalone fuel; blended with gasoline, diesel and ethanol; converted into jet fuel or plastics, or sold as is for use in paints and coatings. Butanol packs more energy than ethanol and is less polluting. In addition, it is a drop-in fuel, and is fully compatible with today’s automobile engines and pipeline infrastructure.
“Cobalt is leading the race to bring economic next generation biofuels to market,” said Rick Wilson, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cobalt Biofuels. “Based on the technology breakthroughs we have achieved, and the successful operation of our plant, we are on track to build a commercial facility within two years, and we are currently building a network of strategic partners in the fuels, chemicals, forest products, and construction industry to deploy our technology at the next scale. The Governor’s leadership in clean technology policy, like the proposed sales tax exemption for green manufacturing equipment will help accelerate commercialization and make California an attractive place to site a plant.”
One commercial-scale Cobalt plant employs 1,300 permanent green collar jobs at the plant and surrounding area, and adds more than $250 million annually to the state’s GDP, according to a market study commissioned by Cobalt.
Cobalt is backed by leading investors in the cleantech sector, including Pinnacle Ventures, Vantage Point Venture Partners, Burrill and Company, Malaysian Life Sciences Capital Fund, Life Science Partners (LSP), @Ventures, and Harris & Harris.
