The objective is research, development, and demonstration activities that will yield new communications and control technologies to enhance the security of electric distribution systems. Particularly with respect to the grid’s capability to prevent, detect, and respond to inadvertent and/or malicious disruptions to critical information flows. A demonstration of the developed solution under the evolving system architecture—including changes occurring on the grid edge—needs to be performed to validate electric utility acceptance. A successful demonstration will lend confidence that the innovation will perform as expected, will increase information security on the grid, and will not interfere with the function of the energy delivery control system. Research findings leading to valuable insights and best practices regarding the design, configuration, and use will be broadly shared with the utility community creating a pathway to accelerate deployment.

Publicly Available Marine Energy Data Analysis & Test Platform(s) to Produce Publicly Available Data 2. Sustainable & Scalable Offshore Wind, Marine Energy, and Aquaculture 3. Undergraduate Senior Design and/or Research Project 4.

Greenhouse Gas Removal (GHGR) is crucial for achieving the Paris Agreement objectives and mitigating the worst impacts of climate change. Our two-tier challenge is designed to illuminate and inspire groundbreaking ideas in the race to scale technological greenhouse gas removal solutions. The first phase involves awarding up to $4,000 to up to 50 compelling one-page proposals that present an innovative solution to a major GHGR challenge. These proposals set the stage for the optional second phase where up to 12 of the most promising ideas will receive grants of up to $50,000 to validate and experiment with the proposed solution space, accelerating the GHGR initiatives to scale.

Venture For ClimateTech is designed to help you quickly and effectively address the biggest risks in launching your venture. It’s a three-phase, six-month program that seeks to help you build the team, knowledge, and personal network you need to succeed, while providing the capital, community, access to talent, and connections to make the journey faster and smoother.

Interested in companies developing technologies which have the potential to substantially reduce GHG emissions globally, and in the state of New York in particular. The cohort will focus on decarbonizing four key sectors: Buildings, Transportation, Grid, and Industry. Companies with solutions that positively help communities impacted by climate change are strongly encouraged to apply.
