Research & Development
Clean energy research and technology development is thriving throughout the state, thanks to the strong high-tech, biotechnology, and advanced engineering industries in Maryland, as well as the R&D powerhouses of the University System of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, and the number of Federal research labs and military bases in the state.
The Maryland Clean Energy Center will help speed more of the R&D in Maryland to commercialization by supporting the clean energy R&D community with:
- Financing and Grant Opportunities
- Facilitating industry partnerships and collaboration
- Technology transfer and commercialization
- Favorable policies for R&D
MCEC is already at work with organizations and people in the state developing clean energy technologies, products, and services. We are developing partnerships and collaboration between academic institutions, Federal labs, and industry – and are actively seeking to secure sources of funding to expand our research and development support capabilities.
Join us in advocating for greater support: Review our 2010 Legislative Agenda.
