Seeding Growth
Since its inception in 2017, MEII has awarded $2.6M in Energy Seed Grants and has helped launch 20 companies in the state of Maryland - many of which have received additional private investment.
MEII has helped obtain over $117M in federal funding for the state of Maryland economy. Based on the share of the Strategic Energy Investment Fund (SEIF) that supports its activities, MEII has demonstrated a greater than 33X return to the State based on federal research alone.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Maryland is on target to reduce state GHG emissions in 2030 by 40% from the 2006 levels while providing significant job growth in the energy industry and providing economic benefits.
