Last month, U.S. Representative Matt Cartwright introduced the Consortia-Led Energy and Advanced Manufacturing Networks Act, H.R. 5548, legislation that would create clean technology and advanced manufacturing commercialization centers to promote domestic development, manufacture, and deployment of clean technologies.

There are many businesses and manufacturing companies throughout the U.S. that would like to harness the latest advancements in clean technology to improve their products, services or processes.  At the same time, we have many innovations in the clean technology arena that remain on the lab bench.

“This legislation will help develop clean technology products and services,” said Rep. Cartwright, “and accelerate the deployment of clean technologies.”

The centers will focus on the commercial application of clean technology, and will increase the flow of information between research universities, large and small companies, national laboratories, venture capitalists, and state and non-profit entities with expertise in clean technology commercialization.

Pattern Energy and Solar Energy Industries Association have endorsed the legislation.
