The New York State Energy Reasearch Development Authority has announced that it proposes to use the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) funding to establish a New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium, (NY-BEST Consortium). The NY-Best Consortium will be a collection of New York universities and companies and will use the research grants to advance the commercialization of battery and energy storage technologies. Advancing such technology and developing products will reduce NOx emissions and transform the transportation and renewable power generation sectors, while positioning New York as the leader in energy storage technology research, development, and manufacturing. Although, the sale of CAIR allowances is expected to be the primary source of funding, there could be opportunities to leverage additional funding.
The NY-Best Consortium Program Plan is available here.
