Welcome to NM CERG

The New Mexico Clean Energy Resilience and Growth (NM CERG) cluster – funded in part by the Department of Energy – is a new effort targeting clean energy technology companies and providing them with the support they need to succeed. NM CERG’s model creates a pipeline for success, guiding participants through the steps necessary for growth and development and supporting them each step of the way.

Under NM CERG, qualified participants gain access to business development activities such as market capture, technology development through testing and evaluation with federal lab partners, and ongoing support for the duration of the commercial market pipeline. Find out more about the assistance offered under NM CERG in our Modules page.

Our Definition of Clean Energy

The transition to predominantly green and renewable energy use will take time. Clean energy is often associated with technologies like solar panels and wind turbines, but clean energy goes beyond such domains. NM CERG’s definition of clean energy includes geothermal, nuclear, and other technologies that contribute to a cleaner energy ecosystem, even if the source of that energy is carbon-based.

Clean energy includes both the capture of renewable sources and how that energy is transported, stored, connected, and integrated into our infrastructure. Products and services that integrate these technologies and provide positive impacts in both clean energy and carbon-based by-products align with NM CERG’s definition of a green future. If you think your technology leads to a better tomorrow in energy, please contact us.

Please contact Aaron Stoddard at: stoddard@nmsu.edu to schedule a meeting to discuss your interest in the CERG program.
