US Renewables Group

SolarReserve, a venture-backed renewable energy company, focuses on advanced solar thermal storage technology. SolarReserve was formed to solve two of the fundamental barriers of renewable energy: scalability and storage. Unlike hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, and other renewable energy technologies that use limited renewable fuel sources, SolarReserve's power plants draw their heat from the sun - earth's ultimate source of clean energy. And unlike wind and photovoltaics, SolarReserve's power plants can deliver power whenever it is needed, either 24 hours per day or only during "peak" demand. By overcoming these two key barriers, SolarReserve enables utility-scale, clean, renewable electricity generation.

OPX Biotechnologies, Inc. is a Colorado-based bioproducts company using proprietary bioengineering technology to convert renewable feedstocks into biofuels and green chemistry products. The OPX EDGE - Efficiency Directed Genome Engineering - technology platform rapid, rational, and robust optimization of microbes and bioprocesses to achieve equivalent product performance with improved sustainability at lower cost versus petroleum based alternatives.

Recognizing that the key to expanding clean power is stabilizing power output from wind and other variable sources, we are developing the General Compression Advanced Energy Storage (GCAESTM) system to store large quantities of energy from wind farms and make it available on demand. General Compression plans to commence construction of its first commercial project in autumn 2011, and is working in partnership with major utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), and gas storage operators to evaluate several sites in North America where GCAESâ„¢ can firm intermittent power and shape grid power capacity.

Fulcrum BioEnergy, Inc. is a company based in Pleasanton, California, that specializes in converting municipal solid waste into low-cost, low-carbon transportation fuels, including jet fuel, diesel, and ethanol. Founded in 2007 by E. James Macias and Jim McDermott, Fulcrum BioEnergy employs a proprietary thermochemical process to transform sorted, post-recycled municipal solid waste into ethanol, utilizing conventional commercial systems. The company's approach aims to create a sustainable and renewable source of domestic transportation fuel, thereby reducing dependence on imported oil and contributing to net-zero carbon emissions. Fulcrum BioEnergy has established a strategic partnership with Marubeni Corporation to further enhance its capabilities in the sustainable fuel sector.
