National Labs Launch Small Business Pilot for Clean Energy Companies
Aimed at geothermal technologies, fuel cell technologies, and more
BERKELEY, Calif. — Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories/California (SNL/CA) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), has been awarded $4.15 million by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to jointly launch a new small business clean energy pilot.
“Our pilot, which we’ve named LabSTAR, unites three national labs — Berkeley, Sandia, and Livermore — to serve as a Bay Area ecosystem for providing access to the unique assets of the national lab system, such as basic science, prototyping, analysis, supercomputers, accelerators, and more,” said Alecia Ward, LabSTAR program lead and also head of program and business development for LBNL’s Energy Technologies Area.
