Since CET started investing in 2014, it sifted through six cycles, hundreds of applications and funded 27 startups in total, deploying about $1 million per year.<\/p>\n<p>While CET operates like any venture capital fund, as a non-profit it raises money from charitable contributions, corporate sponsorships or other donations, and invest through an \u201cevergreen revolving fund\u201d that redeploys financial returns from previous companies, Gaddy said.<\/p>\n<p>CET accepts any venture with a positive environmental impact, from advanced materials and energy storage to building efficiency and mobility, as long as the company has a feasible business model, according to the website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think that the only way to build an environmentally impactful company is to build a successful business,\u201d Gaddy said. \u201cWe have to see that there is a financial motivation for the customers to adopt this product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CET funded many startups that use digital technologies to change the way people manage and use energy, Gaddy said, but more fundamental breakthrough technologies are needed. They look to the Midwest because of the high concentration of top research universities, labs, and Fortune 500 headquarters here.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago, a major city with intellectual capacity and transportation expertise, is especially well positioned to spearhead these kinds of innovations, said George Crabtree, senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and distinguished professor of physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>As director of Argonne\u2019s Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR), Crabtree is working on the next-generation battery to replace lithium ion, the mechanism for batteries that power personal electronics and electric vehicles today. It doesn&#8217;t charge fast enough, and its lifetime is half that of electric cars, Crabtree said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to find the batteries which are going to be as transformative for the grid and for the car,\u201d Crabtree said. \u201cAnd even for electric flight.\u201d At the electric grid level, batteries would mean the ability to store wind and solar energy to scale up collection and usage.<\/p>\n<p>JCESR made four prototypes in the last five years and spun out three startups, one of which is commercializing one of those prototypes. The center is also seeding startups, Crabtree said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince it&#8217;s research, you never know which ones are really going to take hold and which ones may turn out to be second best, but I think that&#8217;s the game,\u201d Crabtree said. \u201cYou have to put your oar in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, CET\u2019s portfolio has had a 10 percent return, but Gaddy said the organization is \u00a0confident the number is going to keep increasing over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s a pathway to success &#8211; it can be a long pathway, but it\u2019s not all-or-nothing,\u201d Gaddy said. \u201cYou&#8217;re betting on strong fundamentals of technology. You&#8217;re betting on intelligent go-to market strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He advises future startup founders to focus on identifying problems that really matter and finding customers that \u201chave their hair on fire and need a solution ASAP.\u201d In the long run, the energy industry needs more success stories to show people that it can be done, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last 10 years, those companies have been quietly growing, quietly succeeding, but you know, it&#8217;s not a Facebook or an Instagram that everybody uses on a daily basis and you can kind of tangibly see,\u201d Gaddy said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: The Smart Cities Symposium stressed the opportunities for energy-related innovation through technology disruption.\u00a0 (Cyan Zhong\/MEDILL)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Cyan Zhong Medill Reports Though still an industrial metropolis, Chicago is actively becoming a clean energy innovation hub for microgrids, electric cars and next generation battery research.
