The resources available to companies that are developing energy oriented technologies and businesses can be found in a wide variety of locations both on and off the web. Government research, patents, industry presentations and white papers are consolidated and categorized on the following pages:
National Laboratory Resources
The Department of Energy's laboratories and technology centers house world-class facilities where more than 30,000 scientists and engineers perform cutting-edge research. Some, such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, are dedicated to the field. Anyone interested in learning more about renewable energy technologies and programs should make a point of becoming familiar with this organization.
