INTRODUCTION

nergy from clean, non-conventional and renewable sources is of vital importance in this fuel-driven age. Green energy is

considered as an environmentally friendly and non-polluting source of energy. The transformation from brown energyto

green energy sources would be the next revolutionary leap into a sustainable developing world without compromising

on the rate of growth. Green energy includes geothermal, wind and solar power which provides a remedy to counter global

warming and pollution. Implication of nanotechnology to enhance innovations in green energy is the subject of this proposal.

Since the 1970s, investments in clean technology have moved from primarily government research and development (R&D)

projects to major multinationals, well-heeled venture capitalists, and savvy individual investors.

While governments still have a significant role to play, this shift is changing the investment landscape and bringing clean

technology to the commercial forefront. A number of leading companies, for example, are embracing clean-tech initiatives and

investing billions of dollars in their efforts: General Electric (GE), the worlds largest diversified manufacturer, plans to invest up

to $1.5 billion a year in clean-tech R&D by 2010 as part of its Ecomagination business strategy. BP recently launched an

alternative-energy unit that will spend up to $8 billion over 10 years to further the companys activities in solar, wind, and

hydrogen. Spain based energy giants Iberdrola and Acciona are both poised to spend billions of dollars building out their clean-

energy portfolios, primarily wind power, over the coming years. In 2006, Toyota is reported to have spent an astounding $8

billion in R&D, much of it for hybrid and fuel-cell development.

The world has seen immense funding in areas of nanotechnology and use the results in green energy is an areas which has not

been thought of. The funding in Nanotechnology has been increased to manifolds in the last 5 years. Solar cells and fuel cells

have benefited from these research but the implications are not reflected in todays products.

Thin film nanotechnology, research in MEMS and NEMS are areas that hold the key for green cell based technologies.

Government across the Globe are becoming serious about Green renewable sources of energy. We plan to increase our overall

sales, gross margin and net profit as summarized in the figure below.

NANOTECHNOLOGY IN GREEN ENERGY (WHATS EXCLUSIVE ABOUT THIS IDEA)

Implications of development of Nanotechnology based green cells have been discussed in [6]. Where we have proposedmodeling and reliability aspects of MEMS based Green Cells and multi scale modeling of Solar cells which is being

communicated for publication. India-specific perspective on the challenges in Fuel Cell Technology has been illustrated in [13].

Multi Scale and HPC in Green Energy solutions using Nanotechnology is important as the application of quantum dots in solar

cells has been practically realized thereby making this area feasible.

There are many challenges on incorporating these hi tech things in a global scenario because in the age of globalization there

exist some advantages and disadvantages. Also there is a monopoly of many giants in some areas which needs to countered

with some smart strategy. The idea that makes our plan exclusive is that Nanotechnology needs to be linked with current

computation as well as characterization techniques. And the different structure of research culture in India which makes a gap

between research and business will be tackled by some novel ways.

For starting the work in this area we need to understand the importance of simulation and computational technologies in

emerging areas. Also the current status of research needs to be studied. The current research in place like IITs has beenobserved during the lab visits in the last 3 years [16-21]. With regards to these requirements we have visited the labs of IITs and

have hands on experience with MATLAB, Coventerware Multi-physics etc.

Similar startups on software simulation exist, but a comprehensive approach lacks in this area. Our research publications are an

asset to us where we have worked on virtually all software available in this area

We have worked on the startup requirements to optimize the expenses. Our strategy in this regard is to play controlled

aggression. The total startup required is 80,000 US dollars. Details and justification of startup are described in details in this

section.

As we have been focusing on IP development as our main priority the requirements in our startups reflects the same.

Travel includes conferences, survey (a part of which has been done), meeting and patents. Because these things will help

completely in understanding the linkage of technology with business and developing IP.

There are various issues that are taking into consideration while deciding the startup. As our approach is distributed

for achieving various goals for the next 3 years we will start up to start our work for the first year. The other expenses includecollaboration with various research institutes of India and the world. There are schemes being started by IITs and other

government institutes to grant lab access to companies. Our recent visits have been on these issues.

Current Assets and Strategy

Our Current assets are the research papers that are being published in international conferences and journals. Also

work which is in process for patent is one of the achievable successes and the market survey and assessments. Even if we get

funds for our plan a little late we will get papers and patents and a rich IP. Our strategy to develop the prototype has also been

successful where we have build a software for fuel cell and a hardware working prototype for solar cell based cars.

Survey

A part of survey has been done in the last few years, which includes lab visits in IITs. Survey on current facilities

showed that the gap between research and product exists which can be filled by managing the things well. This startup was also

present in Showcases in world level forums and had gone in mentoring sessions. Thus the basic starting has been given but

official funding / reward is required to take the idea forward. Thus this area has been a strengthened over a period of time.

but it gives a rough idea of the technology that is expected to come. There are no specific and accurate

Our study of Indian markets is based on the earlier reports. With the talks with many people including emails and telephonic

surveys we can project the market of fuel cells and solar cells are as follows.

Rural India if powered from solar energy can contribute a major to GDP and be independent of government based power

structure rural India is one or the untapped markets, energy converts into running water pumps , running automobiles (fuel

cells) , running electronics which are the major needs of rural and urban India. Reducing oil imports and creating jobs using

alternative energy is the key advantage of our plan because the money saved from non renewable energy will create jobs as

well as clean energy. Our market includes companies that plan to use nano enabled fuel cells and also our software solutions

for companies working fuel cells and solar cells. We have listed all the Indian companies which can be our potential

customers/partners. There are few fuel cell companies in India and fuel cell apps can be divide in top portable and non portable

requirements in a product or company. We have targeted 25 solar cell companies and 5 fuel cell companies initially to target for

the first phase of our plan; our income would be from a spectrum of areas. Automobile industry would be shifting to fuel cells

but they need to make the right choice for their case specific applications, also cost reduction and reliability can be solved only

by nanotech enabled solutions which open s a new market and adds another dimension in this area. We have also focused on

developing nations to be our market. Electronics industry would be using portable NANO-enabled fuel cells. We have studied

and compile d the areas which can possibly be outsourced to us. We will Hyderabad as our market base.

FORECAST OF OUR COMPANY

SALES STRATEGY

Sales forecast are based on some research that been done in this area. There is a unique way about how we plan to distribute

our work in the three years from consultancies to manufacturing because we need to be dynamic to change things. The concept

here is to distribute revenues from a spectrum of areas and keep all options open to implement. Sales has been given assuming

we implement the three phases of the business plan.

The things that make our group more interesting than other groups are that we have got an irreversible and strong

policy on IP which is our strength. Also the research in technology and our understanding of technology is unique. The complex

aspects have been covered in the calculation that includes increase in team members, implementing the three phases at right

months at periods, etc. The strategy for sales remains simple, get rick IP and collaborations and provide the most sophisticated

technology which can be easily converted into products.

SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Energy will solve many needs of agriculture and renewable energy is the need of the country. With our plan we can get cheap

and high products for our rural as well as industrial usages. Our plan not only creates energy but job opportunities for all

sectors. As per our forecast there would be considerable job creation in the sector with 10,000 indirect in 3 years. The challenge

of nano enabled manufacturing will create immense jobs in this area.

Saving the foreign revenues by reducing oil imports that will be added benefit to the nation. India will need green

energy in the upcoming years which is needed to reduce pollution and sustain over 10% GDP. Our plan covers solutions to all

these problems from rural to environmental to jobs creation. The advantage we have is that green energy is slowly replacing oil

based technologies because they are more reliable and make the community independent of oil supplies

FUEL CELLS DEVELOPERS

In India, development of fuel cells is primarily supported by the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES). Several

universities and research organizations are involved in the areas of fuel cells, reformers, and hydrogen storage . Work on

developing a DMFC (direct methanol fuel cell) is underway at IISc (Indian Institute of Science). In addition, research on SOFC is

being done at IISc and CGCRI (Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute). Research and development on metal hydride

storage is ongoing at BHU (Banaras Hindu University) [14]. Vehicular fuel technology can be derived from greener sources suchas fuel cells. The power requirement of bikes and scooters is relatively small and could easily be met by Direct Methanol Fuel

Cells (DMFCs) or hydrogen-powered Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. There is currently some discussion as to

whether DMFC should be the initial route for India, followed by hydrogen-fuelled PEM units for transport in the longer term.

Organizations intensively involved in fuel cells are mainly in the New Delhi which is a home to various fuel cell companies and

R&D organizations and Indias most industrialized state Maharashtra which includes manufacturing centers such as Mumbai

where major fuel cell activities take place. Thus seeing the prospects in purview of these developments in the contemporary

Indian scenario we have developed models of Green Cells and plan to expand them and get patents from the results. Our

papers have been published in international conferences regarding this matter.

Fig. Fuel cell organization [16]

Application specific areas of Fuel cells [16]

As shown in the above figures we can see the developments and distributions of areas in fuel cell. The statistics though are

from June 2007 it provides some overview of the direction fuel cell industry is going. In [16] the present companies and states

leading in fuel cell research are given.

COMPANY

Our company will be first of its kind Indian company with nanotechnology enabled green cells. There is a need to get our

companies and our work at par with the global ones by synchronization of nanotechnology research in green energy. Currently

the realization of advantages of Nanotechnology in Green Energy has been felt and these remains some areas to be explored by

other companies thus starting early will be beneficial. Yearly sales chart has been shown in figure below. We have been working

on getting a rich IP in the initial stage and have research publications backing our work [1-10].

Fig. Yearly Profit of our company

The distribution bar graph of the profits is given above. We have considered the importance of balancing and thereby making a

spectrum of revenue sources. Though the profit from all sectors is bound to increase but the profit from hardware and

installing of hardware units will be the most challenging work of the company. We can see that from each year we have added

a new revenue source in our model and work on all have been started on a preliminary bases. Competition in this area is

minimum and as we plan to add value to the current products of the companies working in this regard. We have taken in

account revenues from all the sources as well as Indian and abroad.

PRODUCT AND SERVICES

We will get into Green Nano Cell manufacturing unit in India for our specific needs and also will setup the characterization and

modeling lab for Nano enabled Green cells. Currently research in fuel cells is facing many challenges in commercialization and

Nanotechnology can provide some very realistic solutions that may enable rapid commercialization of Green Nano cells. We will

also plan to provide consulting services in the following product development services for Nano enabled Green Cells and;

technology and Intellectual Property strategy. We will initiate with modeling area specific green cells for case to case scenarios.

We have shown modeling of Green Nano Cells in [6]. Modeling can help us to facilitate integration of nano-enabled green cellsin various areas. We have analyzed the market of fuel and solar cells in India in a comprehensive manner. Potential customers

and growth includes not only mechanical but portable applications too. The solar cell with Nanotech enabled modeling and

simulation is proving more efficient and will see application in wide domains. We have surveyed the present companies to

whom we can provide the services. We have discerned and analyzed the integration of fuel cells for present times. We have

surveyed the present companies working in developing green products.

Solar Engine Prototype

We have built a prototype in the form of a miniature solar car exemplifying the use of Nanotechnology based solar cell. The

advantage of applying Nanotechnology in existing solar cells is that it provides significant improvement in the efficiency and

reliability of the solar cells used. In our prototype we have used a solar engine circuit for providing power as shown below -

Solar engine circuit consists of a nano-enabled solar cell. As light falls on the cell, the capacitor starts charging and as a result

the voltage level also rises. As soon as the capacitor reaches the value of 3.9v, 1381 turns pin 1 high and also turns 3904 (NPN

transistor) to ON state. When the 3904 transistor turns to ON state, it brings about the base of the 3906(PNP transistor) to low.

This turns the 3906 transistor to ON state. With the 3906 transistor ON, current is supplied to the base of the 3904(NPN

transistor) which keeps it in ON state. Now current flows through the motor and it starts to rotate. When the voltage gets down

to the level of 0.7v (due to hysteresis in 1381) the transistors turn OFF and the process is repeated again. We can modify

individual components to achieve required conditions such as increase in the size of the resistor for longer running time, but

lower starting torque and vice versa.We also use light seeking mechanism in our prototype for capturing solar energy. We are using photodiode as sensor.

Photodiode resistance decreases when light fall on it due to the low resistance and high current flow through it. And the

required voltage level is attained between the terminals 2 and 3 of voltage trigger. This causes transistor 3904(NPN transistor)

to turn ON. This results a decrease in the base voltage of 3906 (PNP transistor) and as a result turning it ON. Then the motor

starts rotating due to the difference in the light that falls on to the two photodiodes (left and right side of model). Both the

motors rotate with different speeds to the car to take a turn. Photodiodes are cross-connect. This means that they are used to

control the motor of opposite side of the car.

Solar Car Components

1 - Printed Circuit Board (the PCB).

2 - 2.2 k resistors (band colors red, red, red and gold). These tune the solar-engines for optimal performance.

2 - 680 k resistors (band colors blue, grey, yellow and gold).

2 - 2N3906 PNP Transistors (one for each Solar-engine).

2 - 2N3904 PNP Transistors (one for each Solar-engine).2 - 1381 Triggers (one for each Solar-engine). These components measure the stored power and as the name suggests trigger

the Solar-engine to firing mode.

2 - 0.22F (F - microfarad) capacitors. These work with the triggers and optical components to sense which direction is the

brightest.

2 - Photodiode sensor optics ( light sensing components).

1 - 100 k trimmer potentiometer.

1 - 4700F 6.3 volt capacitor. This is where the Solar-engine stores the power from the solar cell until the Solar-engine fires.

3" - Fine twisted pair of wire to be attached to the solar cell.

2" - Copper wire for structural support

2 - Augat sockets. 2 - Sensor springs. 1 - 2"- 1/16" Heat-shrink tubing.

2 - High-efficiency low-voltage, high-speed coreless motors.

Our software prototype includes

Modeling Library- This is the main library for modeling of CNT, MEMS and other Nano-scale device based Fuel Cell and

materials. A model in nano-technology is a physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system of entities,

phenomena, or processes occurring at nano level. Basically a model is a simplified abstract view of the complex reality. It

consists of modules and functions which will allow easy designing of many complex Nano-scale devices and parts used in Fuel

Cell. It allows making of formalized interpretations dealing with empirical entities, phenomenon, and physical processes

occurring at nano level in a mathematical or logical way. It is based on "divide and conquer" principle to handle complex

problems. XNA framework is used for graphical programming required in this library. This library allows to view models in a 3-

CONCLUSION

Thus we plan to provide some realistic solution that may enable realization of Green Nano cells and help us to commercialize

this technology. We plan to fill this vacuum because it is poised to see rapid growth. With a rich IP we plan our company to be

acquired by some bigger companies and we are still working to decide a strategy to give maximum profit and value to our

founders and investors. Preliminary work in prototype has been shown above in this work. Also the strong technical

management team is one of the assets of this company.
