Tomorrow's clean energy. Today.
Global energy markets are changing. Security of supply issues, competitive forces and environmental legislation are all changing the way we will produce, distribute and use energy in the future. These changes are driving a new sector: Clean Technology. Clean Technology will provide tomorrow’s means of producing the energy that the world needs, but today it is in nascent form.
As technology developers, users, governments and regulators look to shape the future in this area, the LIFE accelerator is centrally positioned. LIFE has a track record of picking early-stage Clean Technology companies and helping them on the road to success. LIFE will continue to do this, working with entrepreneurs and providers of capital to build the businesses that will be the future of energy.
Featured Company: Synchropulse
Electric motors consume over 65% of the world's electricity, yet a large proportion of smaller motors are inefficient wasting much of the energy they consume (US Department of Energy estimates that some 500 million of these motors are only 20% efficient).
A new European Directive is introducing mandatory efficiencies for motors from 2011, increasing the pressure on manufacturers to find cost effective high efficiency technologies.
Synchropulse have the solution, their patented hybrid EC, brushless electric motors uniquely offer a high efficiency, variable speed motor, that is financially viable for general purpose applications. Find out more:
