Ion America filed statement about the financing at the Securities & Exchange Commission, and VentureWire reported on it this morning subscription required. Home. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells such as Ion Americas, however, can use any hydrocarbon as the fuel gasoline, ethanol, methane, propane, butane, etc. The total funding is 165 million.

That is lot of money, and we are not surprised, because the hand of Silicon Valley firm New Enterprise Associates General Partner Scott Sandell are board members. This is the technology behind the hydrogen economy so often talked about in Washington, DC as way to potentially power cars. Until if you have asked some of these folks about Ion America, they have declined to acknowledge its existence though that change Ion Americas fuel cell generates hydrogen and electricity.

It has its limitations, because it requires so much energy input to create hydrogen in the first place. There is clear evidence on the Web of what the company is doing. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells such as Ion Americas, however, can use any hydrocarbon as the fuel gasoline, ethanol, methane, propane, butane, etc. This is the technology behind the hydrogen economy so often talked about in Washington, DC as way to potentially power cars.

It has its limitations, because it requires so much energy input to create hydrogen in the first place. Since no one is talking about Ion America, it is difficult to know what they are really doing, and whether it jibes with Doerrs view on hydrogen or not. Kleiner Partner John Doerr, Mobius Managing Director Greg Galanos, and New Enterprise Associates is behind this one and the firm, fresh from raising one of the largest venture funds ever, is getting aggressive in pushing investments in green technologies.

Americas VC No 1, or perhaps No 2, and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers partner Vinod Khosla has India on his mind. Located in Mountain View, California, the company is in KPCBs stealth mode with very little information available about it. His new surprise portfolio company, Ion America, an energy sector company and has just set up an R&D centre in Chennai, Mr Khosla told ET in an exclusive interview at The India Economic Summit 04 here on The US Congress has allocated 2.

The companys CEO, KR Sridhar, was director of the Space Technology Lab at the University of Arizona between and 01. . Meanwhile, Mr Khosla is betting big on India for his other company, Infinera, too. Americas VC No 1, or perhaps No 2, and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers partner Vinod Khosla has India on his mind. It is an energy sector player, is also offshoring to India. The US Congress has allocated 2.

Setting up operations in India is one of the key factors based on which we decide to invest in companies. Despite involvement of top investors, the company is said to be developing revolutionary fuel cell for the stationary power generation market. Ion America, high profile startup, has already received loan of 2. 5m from Western Technology Investment and recently got an additional 3. 5m investment from KPCB. His new surprise portfolio company, Ion America, an energy sector player, is also offshoring to India. The availability of large number of people with PhDs, for instance, is big advantage, he said.

The US Congress has allocated 2. 5m to the company and the US Navy is testing its reversible solid oxide fuel cell technology for providing oxygen for submarine crew, as well as power for submarine propulsion. This is because India is an ideal R&D base with huge skill set, he said. Meanwhile, Mr Khosla is betting big on India for his other company, Infinera, too. Located in Mountain View, California, the company is in KPCBs stealth mode with very little information available about it. .

But Silicon Valley is really not good place to make things.

But at Mayor Corkers urging, the leaders of an energy business startup known as Ion America soon discovered Chattanooga as possible site to test and manufacture its products. This has tremendous opportunity as we move forward with fuel cell and hydrogen technologies, Mayor Corker said. Congress has been asked to provide another 2. 5 million for the venture next year. Sridhar said. I knew if took the reverse of what we had developed taking chemical energy and converting it to electricity it becomes this new promising fuel cell technology.

Even the shuttered former Coors Ceramics plant could help in providing the technical ceramics needed for the Ion America product, officials said.

McDonald, director of the Space Technology Laboratory at the University of Arizona from to To help NASA with its mission to Mars in the Dr. Sridhar said. One of the first units will be at the Sim Center. Sridhar said. But in Chattanooga we know how to build what others have invented and we can usually do so at less than in places like Silicon Valley. Within weeks of their initial meeting, Mayor Corker arranged for Mr. There has certainly been great deal of interest and support from Chattanooga, Mr.

Sridhar said. Sridhar, former colleague of Professor Harry McDonald, is still reluctant to say much about what he calls his stealth corporation. But the former University of Arizona from to The lab won large NASA contract to develop method to convert electrical energy into chemical energy. Sridhar and other scientists worked to find way to make oxygen in space for rocket air supply and energy. Even the shuttered former Coors Ceramics plant could help in providing the technical ceramics needed for the Ion America product, officials said. To help NASA with its mission to Mars in the Dr.
