I thought worthwhile sharing this list of top 10 CleanTech start-ups (Source: www.greentechmedia.com). Technology landscape cover innovative battery storage, Solar Thermal, lower cost PV cell, electric Car and transportation network, Smart Grid monitoring and metering, fuel cell, LEDs and biofuels through gasification route.

Is anybody aware of similar companies in India, specially in the battery space? Let me know if you have come across interesting companies like these in India.

1. A123 Systems : Fast-charging, high-cycle lithium ion batteries are based on a proprietary nanophosphate electrode technology developed by the founders at MIT.

2. Gridpoint: SmartGrid Platform which acts like a modem, transmitting information about the distributed load from homes and businesses to a centrally located GridPoint Operations Center.

3. Project Better Place: Create an integrated electric vehicle transportation network providing vehicles, charging stations, batteries, and an innovative financing package.

4. BrightSource: Solar Thermal concentrator using flat mirrors

5. Luminus Devices: LED lights

6. Coskata: Biofuel from multiple feedstock using syngas to liquid fuel route.

7. Bloom Energy, Inc.: Solid Oxide fuel cell

8. TH!NK: Electric car

9. Suniva: Higher efficiency PV cell

10. Silver Spring Networks: Smart grid with real-time networking between energy consumers and energy suppliers on open-platform Internet protocols.
