US State and Regional Energy Innovation Index Summary

Introduction & Key Takeaways

• Clean Energy Innovation Ecosystems: Geographic clusters of firms, research institutions, and public entities drive the cost and performance improvements of clean energy technologies.
• Federal Role:Recent legislation enables state-level innovation, though regions vary in resources, public policy, and technological focus.
• Measurement: The ITIF index evaluates 9 categories (knowledge, demonstration, entrepreneurship, supply chains, and social legitimation) across 14 tech domains.

Methodology

1. Key Indicators:
   • Resource Mobilization: Federal R&D spending, publications, patents, demonstration projects.
   • Entrepreneurship: Seed funding, venture capital, company exits (e.g., battery sector).
   • Supply Chains: Clean energy employment, grid potential, hydrogen storage capacity.
   • Social Legitimation: Public climate action support (e.g., 78% US adults back R&D).

Case Studies

• New York Southern Tier: Secured $63.7M for battery technology, leveraging a Nobel Prize inventor and national grants.
• South Carolina: Focused on hydrogen, nuclear, and offshore wind, using BMW’s regional assets to pivot to clean tech.

Policy Recommendations

• Funding Alignment: Strengthen federal-state partnerships for clean energy deployment.
• Targeted Innovation: Prioritize research in critical areas like carbon capture and grid-scale storage.
• Capacity Building: Direct early-stage support to brownfield regions hesitant to adopt clean tech.

Limitations

• Private R&D data unavailable for full index.
• Requires national coordination for data sharing across agencies (e.g., DOE, NSF).
