Three prominent VC firms are part of CalCEF plan announced today.

March 14, 2005--"New CalCEF $30 Million Fund Poised to Fuel California's Clean Energy Industry."

The California Clean Energy Fund (CalCEF), a new $30 million public benefit investment fund created as part of the Pacific Gas and Electric's bankruptcy settlement, announced agreements with three venture capital firms: Nth Power, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and VantagePoint Venture Partners. These firms will bring matching funds and access to strategic partners. The purpose of CalCEF is to make investments and to provide an engine of economic growth while reducing California's dependence on fossil fuels.

New venture capital firm Blackwolf Partners http://www.blackwolfventures.com/ to raise $100 million and invest part in alternative energy. The fund is expecting to funnel capital into start-ups in the Midwest and the West Coast.

"An all energy portfolio is too risky because the market is highly dependant on the price of oil," Charlie Walker, partner with the firm, told VentureWire Alert. "There is money to be made in that market, but we'll be managing risk in a more thoughtful way."

New investor Mohr Davidow Ventures led a $20 million Series B round with a $10.5 million infusion of capital into Nanosolar Inc., a developer of solar electricity cells.

California again: California State Teachers' Retirement System and VantagePoint Venture Partners to co-invest $30 million in New Energy Capital.

The firm is headed by Dan Reicher, former assistant secretary of energy during the Clinton administration, once headed up the DOE's EERE. He told VentureWire the firm is "focused on actually financing the deployment of the technologies and projects" around clean technology and "green" fuels.

Our concept is for a fuel that is Safe (a solid easily stored and distributed), Clean (sequesters 3.4 tons of CO2 for each ton produced from salt water electroyis and Flexible (can replace gasoline in E85 or burned at 100%). It stores Ammonia and therefore Hydrogen. Its chemistry was first published in 1861 - no R required.

We have a patented device/w permits in final stages of testing for use in enhanced oil recovery.(currently Kern county, Ca.) Has nearly zero emissions and also can be used for soil remediation( Low/high temp thermal disorbtion). Need funding partner for expansion.

You provide lists of investors. My question is do you conduct due diligence to determine if each of these investors is legitimate?

I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Kansas. I plan to get my MBA, but how do I go about learning the business side of engineering and venture capitalists? There seems to be a lack of needed internships (free or paid) to fulfill the need for concurrent engineering savyness clean tech companies will depend on for future success. Thanks, whitfi10@ku.edu

We are seeking partners to build an ethanol plant in the Dominican Republic. The feedstock for the plant will be sugarcane, an abundant crop in the country.

As part of the DR-CAFTA Trade Agreement, ethanol produced in the Dominican Republic enters the US duty free. Additionally there's a 0.51/gallon tax credit plus a provision that will allow ethanol produced in the DR to be blended with a similar quantity of Brazilian ethanol and allowing this to enter duty free as well.

Total investment in the distillery and mill will run around 4.0-5.0 million.

If you are interested don't hesitate to contact us.

I am currently looking to invest in unique alternative energy companies. We have a large pool of aggresive capital.
Please contact me at 401 619 2357/ jdudla@gmail.com

Cleaner diesel fuel can have a major greening effect on U.S. transportation emissions. Best feed stock for this fuel is Kerogen oil from oil shale. Have 1.1 billion barrels and a new, economic method of recovery. Top PhD's on US Oil Shale Task force have joined company. Royal Dutch Shell's process (in-situ) is great for deep formation. Ours is best for surface mining shale. See www.ecoshale.com and contact Todd. Raising $20 million.

How about venture firms that funds mostly software companies? I think funding promising high technology startups is as good as funding energy startup companies

Does investing in energy companies help lower the price of gas? Sorry for the stupid question, it's just that if it does then I think it should be highly recommended.

I don't see how investing in either energy or software companies would significantly reduce the cost of gasoline. Every mainstream VC firm is investing in both, and gas is going up.

I would like to see $7 gas in the U.S., so we can start catching up to EU and JP on mass transit and fuel efficiency. They have fast electric trains, we have single-occupant Yukons. They have efficient subways, we have freeway congestion.

We have a patent-pending methodology to convert CO2 from coal plants directly into ethanol using bacteria. No feedstock or fermentation required. Cheaper than gas. Cheaper than conventional ethanol production methods. Highly scaleable. Seeking $4M to commercialize.

I have a "Solar Thermal" invention that my late father invented that I would like a Venture Capitalist to look at.

Why is my father's invention different to most others, because the late "Buckminster Fuller" worked with my father to design this Solar Furnace.

I have several companies looking at the invention now.

The VC firms mentioned above are pretty much the key venture players in energy so there shouldn't be any doubt as to legitimacy. My experience is that they do venture in different areas of CleanTech industry. Bill Melendez, CEO, HEMS Technology.

I'm not finding many angels on this list. Seems to be all VC's. Where would I find angels interested in smaller investments in clean energy technology?

Deepwater Structures Inc. (DSI) is an innovative leader in the floater technology of offshore oil and gas business. DSI is emerging strong into oil and gas business with the association of several multi billion dollar companies in the oil and gas business. DSI objective is to profile FPSOs that provides oil companies Exploration and Production the capability for year-round drilling, and/or production within the Deepwater / arctic regions. DSI considers these concepts potentially feasible for adding to the Oil Companies Concept Profile. DSI, a Texas Corporation based out of Houston, Texas, holds several patents on new deep water vessels, and includes the following patents: Dry tree support Stabilized Semi-submersible, Jacket SPAR, Special non-ship shaped FPSO, Tension Based TLP, Arctic Class Drilling Vessels, Harsh Environment Column Stabilized Drilling Rigs and SPAR Storage Vessel for OilandLNG.

DSI is currently working on two major real projects with proposals:

1. Sakhalin V is a 100 m water depth in arctic north east Russia offshore BP has 49% with this field. Production rate is estimated as over 200,000 barrels per day. Thick ice up to 3 m and 25 m multi year ridges could be possible to occur in those regions. It is also an earth quake prone zone does not allow fixed platforms feasibility. The project is estimated to be 2-3 billion dollar development. DSI would propose one production cum storage vessel with turret dis-connectable mooring and flex risers.

2. Shtokman is another Gas field mid north of Russia. Norway Statoil & France Total have obtained 49% share from Russian Gasform on this gas field. Discovered in 1988, the Shtokman gas and condensate field is located in the central part of the Barents Sea, about 600 km north-east of the city of Murmansk, with local sea depths varying from 320 to 340 m. Shtokman’s explored reserves are valued at not less than 3.7 tcm of gas and more than 31 mln t of gas condensate. The vessel technology developed for Sakhalin V by DSI is equally good for Shotkman project. Shotkman is worse than Sakhalin due to increased water depth.

3. Shtokman field demands floating nuclear power station. Rosensergoatom, the Russian Nuclear Power Corporation is working with Gazprom to build nuclear power plants to support Shtokman. DSI arctic vessel is well suitable for this application and DSI would take effort to market this unique opportunity.

4. Ice class Liquefied Gas Carrier will be very advantageous compared to pipeline within Barents Sea to reduce cost and keep environment clean and safe. DSI is now looking into modifying our arctic vessel for LNG carrier and storage unit for the Shtokman project proposal. Such proposal would dramatically change the architect of the project and cost and time benefits are very large to the Sthokman development.

5. DSI vessel technology is good for clear water rough sea oil and gas developments in the rest of the world oil fields. A ship shaped fpso would have natural period of heave at about 10 sec and DIS FPSO has over 22 s. Hence, its application towards harsh environment oil field development is very attractive. 6. Floating Drilling Production Storage Offloading (FDPSO) is another new trend in the oil industry in which the cost of development and due the demand of drilling vessel has more value. DSI non-ship shaped vessel is well suited for such applications.

With DSI unique arctic class vessel, DSI plan to propose two floaters to support Nuclear power stations for Shtokman field. DSI is now looking into build two FPSO and lease to the oil companies. Demand of FPSO would be increased within three to four years by many folds. Thus the investment would be highly profitable with DSI plan to build two with our new vessel technology. DSI vessel is superior in terms of performance, long fatigue life, cost and time wise very effective compared to the ship-shaped FPSO. Not many competitors are there in USA for our new vessels. Once start building many order would fall into our hand and we could replace 75% of the ship based existing FPSO currently working with in 10-20 years and DSI would be the major player in this FPSO business.

DSI current five major business strategies are: 1. FPSO for Arctic Development 2. FPSO for Harsh Environment (North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Deepwater Brazil , East Coast India , Far East Deepwater) 3. FDPSO for Deepwater (West Africa, World wide) 4. Harsh Environment Mobile Offshore Column Stabilized Drilling Unit (clients Transocean, Parker Drilling) 5. Deepwater Production Facility (TLP, Dry-Tree Semi-sub, Jacket SPAR).

Fund needed for this is $0.5b to above.

We have an exclusive (truthfully) automotive design that uses no fossil fuel and is not an EV. Our vehicle is full sized and full powered, not like the other autos on the market. We are certain this is what the world needs. Our chassis is already pre-approved by the U.S.D.O.T. for highway use and the engine/chassis combination is the basis of our system with customer interchangeable (optional) body styles. This is the "system" of transportation that we need.

Fully recycled bodies on a proven roadworthy non-petroleum, non EV powerplant.
Nearly 20 years of R&D but we now need outside funding to make this happen.

We also have Green kit homes with above average marketability. AND,
the Basic Comfort HVAC system that allows customers to heat and cool their homes at 600% savings per month! This system attaches to current HVAC systems so reworking an entire homes duct work is not needed.

We are looking for venture funding for early Stage for wind power generation project in india. We would like to go for 5 MW Project. We have purchase power agreement for 30 yrs. we are also ready to go for joint venture with Investors. let us know, if anyone is interested in our proposal.

Project Name: Solar Grade Silicon

Current Situation:

Fast development of photovoltaic industry is restricted now by a shortage of raw materials and its high prices. This raw material (solar grade silicon, SGS) is producing now by so called Siemens Process, which is expensive and environmentally dangerous because of chlorine. The world SGS deficit is estimated at a level of 8000 Mt per year. SGS price has increased from $30 per kg seven years ago up to $100 per kg and more today.

Project Idea:

A group of researchers from Kiev Polytechnic University, Ukraine, proposes a technology for SGS production without use of chlorine. Projected cost is $18 per kg or less. They have some small laboratory samples of SGS and samples measurement report from an independent Ukrainian lab. This report confirms that the samples can be used for photovoltaic industry. The authors propose to establish SGS production in any European country, excluding Russia. The pilot line for 100 Mt per year capacity needs about $2 million of investments. Next step will be an industrial line of 2000 Mt per year.
