Technology topic

Energy Technologies (EN)

The Energy Technologies topic covers new energy sources and resources, power generation, energy storage and electronic systems for energy sources used in mobile technologies and off-grid applications. Proposals in all areas of energy generation are welcome, with an emphasis on how the new idea competes favorably with existing solutions. Proposals in carbon conversion and disruptive technologies in conventional resources (natural gas exploration and production) are also welcome. Proposals that focus on the intersection of energy technologies and data are welcome across all areas where integration with energy technology applications is the primary thrust (including computational technologies). Proposals with ideas on nature-inspired processes for sustainable energy solutions and carbon storage, reducing the carbon and resource intensity of hydrocarbon extraction, energy conversion, and their uses are also sought. Proposals involving energy storage from the scale of wearable devices to power plants and energy conversion are encouraged.

Subtopics are not aimed at supporting or conducting clinical trials, clinical efficacy or safety studies, the development pre-clinical or clinical-stage drug candidates or medical devices, or work performed primarily for regulatory purposes. Limited studies with human subjects may be acceptable to the extent that they are performed in support of feasibility, such as proof-of-concept studies of early-stage technologies. Proposals that request support for clinical studies will be deemed noncompliant with the SBIR/STTR solicitations and returned without review.
