Description
The Clean Tech R&D Voucher Program, Round 3, is implemented by the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology (CSIT) in collaboration with NJEDA. It helps early-stage New Jersey clean tech and clean energy companies access participating research facilities and makerspaces, accelerating discoveries toward commercially viable technologies that attract industry and investor interest.
Projects must develop or test technologies that avoid or recapture greenhouse gases or criteria pollutants, or enable that work. Support spans Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 1–7, from basic research through integrated pilot system demonstration. Eligible technology areas are chemicals and advanced materials, energy distribution and storage, energy efficiency, energy generation, green buildings, transportation, waste processing, and water and agriculture.
