John Anderson, a Principal with the Rocky Mountain Institute's Energy & Resources Team, has had a distinguished 25-year career in clean energy technology and markets. After receiving his MSME from the Solar Energy Lab at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, he worked for SERI, the Solar Energy Research Institute, then its successor, NREL, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. As a researcher at SERI/NREL he worked on both energy technology and energy policy projects around the world. He contributed to or managed work on buildings, solar thermal power, solar chemistry, and geothermal projects. At NREL, his clients included the World Bank, the InterAmerican Development Bank, the U.S. DOE and USAID, and he worked on projects in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Region, the Middle East, and North Africa. Mr. Anderson left NREL in 1999 to found and manage the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF), which was focused on making commercial-grade investments in the clean energy sector. While at CCEF, he established the Fund's operations, hired the original staff, and identified, developed, and closed the initial investments. After leaving CCEF, Mr. Anderson consulted for small energy technology companies and institutions on strategic business plans. Mr. Anderson is also heavily involved in local efforts to promote the development of Clean Technology companies in Colorado through the Colorado CleanTech Initiative. |
