Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Business Directory Survey

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Opportunity to participate in business directory app.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Energy (the 
``Interagency Team'') announce an opportunity for U.S.-based suppliers 
and providers of clean energy, smart grid, and energy efficiency 
solutions to participate in the pilot phase of an interactive directory 
of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. The Interagency 
Team is currently developing an interactive app to serve as a mobile 
business directory for U.S. clean energy exporters. The app will 
highlight sustainability improvements at U.S. diplomatic missions and 
provide potential business partners globally with a searchable 
interface to find information on potential U.S. technology and service 
providers. The app will showcase a diverse array of clean energy goods 
and services, including renewable energy equipment

(solar, wind, geothermal), biofuels, fuel cell power, smart grid 
technologies, and energy efficiency solutions, as well as U.S.-based 
services critical to the deployment of clean energy supplies. U.S. 
clean energy exporters interested in registering to be part of the 
pilot phase of the interactive directory and providing information on 
their company's solutions to be included in the app are requested to 
send an email to [email protected] by no later than February 20, 2015.

Who will use the app?

    Target users include Foreign Service Officers and Foreign 
Commercial Service Officers and their energy sector stakeholders in 
international markets. The app will enable users to easily demonstrate 
U.S. clean energy and energy efficiency solutions available in foreign 
markets and provide a tool to facilitate commercial partnerships that 
drive the deployment of U.S. technologies and services globally. 
Through the app, a global audience, as well as the American public, 
will be invited to learn more about environmental diplomacy efforts 
overseas, and the innovative U.S. companies powering them.

Disclaimer

    The information submitted to the directory and displayed on the app 
is intended to inform users about U.S. clean energy and energy 
efficiency solutions. All U.S.-based businesses in these industries 
that meet the criteria requested in the online form will be eligible 
for the directory and app. The Interagency Team will perform due 
diligence on submissions to the Directory and expects that submitting 
parties will perform their own due diligence, investigation, and 
background research before entering into a commercial relationship with 
any listed business or business contact facilitated through the 
product. A listing in the directory does not constitute endorsement of 
the business or its products, services or technology by the Interagency 
Team. The Interagency Team assumes no responsibility or liability for
