Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Business Directory Survey

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce.

ACTION: Opportunity to participate in the RE3 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 launch of an interactive directory of 
renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. The Interagency Team 
has developed the beta version of an interactive app to serve as a 
mobile business directory for U.S. clean energy exporters. The app will 
highlight deployments of sustainable technologies and systems at U.S. 
diplomatic missions and provide potential business partners around the 
world 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 and energy efficiency exporters interested in registering 
to be part of the interactive directory and provide 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 December 31, 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 
the actions users may take based on the information provided and 
reserves the right not to list any particular business.
