Goals and Objectives of the Renewable Energy Institute

The specific goals and objectives of the Renewable Energy Institute, a 501 (c) 3 corporation shall be:

1. To expand the use of renewable energy technologies in the United States and around the world.
   
   
2. To end America's dependence on unstable, unsustainable foreign sources of energy, and make the United States energy independent.
   
   
3. To lead and formulate public policy that promotes greater use of renewable energy.
   
   
4. To lead the research and development of new renewable energy technologies that lead to patents and the ability to license the renewable energy technologies we develop and invest.
   
   
5. To coordinate the research and development of renewable energy between universities so as to minimize redundancy and maximize results.
   
   
6. To facilitate and promote dialog between universities and professors in the free flow of research to enhance results and breakthroughs in renewable energy research and development.
   
   
7. To educate and inform the public, including stakeholders that include residential, commercial, industrial and governmental organizations who are consumers of power and energy, the many benefits and uses of renewable energy.
   
   
8. The Renewable Energy Institute will promote higher energy and electric power efficiencies and renewable energy technologies including; Anaerobic Digesters, Automated Demand Response, Biodiesel, Biomass Gasification, BioMethane and BioMethane Recovery, Cogeneration, Concentrating Solar Power, Demand Side Management, Dispersed Generation, Distributed Generation (onsite power generation), Fuel Cells, Geothermal, Hydrogen, Landfill Gas to Energy, Ocean and Tidal energy, Supply Side Management, Thermal Gasification, Trigeneration, Waste to Energy, Waste To Watts and to promote the use of energy crops and oilseed crops for producing biofuels and related technologies whenever a renewable fuel may be used in an internal combustion engine or gas turbine to produce clean power and energy. The Renewable Energy Institute will promote Carbon Dioxide Sequestration technologies, also called Carbon Capture and Sequestration.
   
   
9. To help farmers and growers in determining the optimum energy crops and oilseed crops they should consider for their specific locations, soils, climate and energy markets.
   
   
10. To adopt a goal of providing the U.S. with 50% of its power and energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2025, and 75% by 2050. Texas will lead the way with a goal of 50% of its power and energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2020, and 75% by 2040.
    
    
11. To seek funding, investments and donations for the REI from concerned citizens, organizations and companies that will fund the REI's grants, research and development.
    
    
12. To seek and develop strategic partners/partnerships that share and advance our common goals.
    
    
13. To seek out qualified companies and people that want to utilize our products and services under our license.
    
    
14. To provide Engineering Feasibility and Economic Analysis studies for customers - through a separate entity affiliated with the Renewable Energy Institute.
    
    
15. To develop renewable energy projects on behalf of customers - through a separate entity affiliated with the Renewable Energy Institute.
    
    
16. To remain committed as a trusted supplier of research, development and technologies and be committed as a "vendor-neutral" resource of information - until such time we identify "optimum" companies, products and/or technologies.
    
    
17. To promote and integrate the use of renewable energy technologies in creating "sustainable communities," "renewable energy districts," and "green buildings."
    
    
18. To be committed to ending global warming, eliminating carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, and advance technologies such as carbon dioxide sequestration to end global climate change.
