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 an interactive directory of renewable
energy and energy efficiency solutions. The Interagency Team has
[[Page 44841]]
developed the beta version of an interactive app to serve as a mobile
business directory for U.S. clean energy exporters, which can be
accessed at http://www.re3app.com/. The app highlights deployments of
sustainable technologies and systems at U.S. diplomatic missions and
provides potential business partners around the world with a searchable
interface to find information on potential U.S. technology and service
providers. The app showcases 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. The app is expected to be
available in mobile app stores around October 1, 2016. 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 complete
the online survey by no later than August 1, 2016. The app and survey
are administered by the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. Department
of Commerce is publishing this notice as part of its responsibility for
public outreach for the directory.
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 specified 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 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.
ADDRESSES: To provide information for use in the app, U.S. companies
are requested to complete the online survey by no later than August 1,
2016. The URL for the survey: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/re3app/.
