Green Jobs and Recovery Money
I am going through all my posts to check the websites of circular economy companies and organizations for Green Jobs & Money they may have toward recovery.
Like I suggested in my last post on this subject, the pandemic offers us all a chance to stop our frantic lives for a moment and think about where we are going. If you have ever thought to seek employment in the new Green Industries, the Circular economy….THIS IS THE TIME.
There is money out there
SOME OF IT IS JUST SITTING THERE
Billions in Clean Energy Loans Go Unused as Coronavirus Ravages Economy
As Congress rushes out trillions of dollars to prop up businesses, the Energy Department is holding on to tens of billions in clean energy loans.
30 April, 2020 – … “We’re searching high and low all over Washington, D.C., for money to put people back to work and here we have more than $40 billion,” said Dan Reicher, executive director of the Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance at Stanford University, who served at the Energy Department under President Bill Clinton. “This is the moment to really put these programs back in gear.”
The loans — which would aid renewable power, nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage technology — had some bipartisan support even before the coronavirus pushed 30 million people onto the unemployment rolls. But some supporters of the program said it was being held back by a president who has falsely claimed wind power causes cancer and consistently sought deep cuts to renewable energy spending, including the loan program.
(How would you like to apply for this money? YOU NEED A GOOD IDEA…. LIKE:
“direct air/CO2 capture”
municipal solid waste – MSW to BioFuel? Yes! – bottom line garbage
“Republicans have decided they don’t want this money to go out, even though a lot of it could be for things they say they like, like for the oil and gas industry or carbon capture and sequestration (cut off) of the nuclear industry,” said Peter W. Davidson, who led the loan program under former President Barack Obama and is now chief executive of *Aligned Climate Capital, an asset management company.
*Mr. Davidson’s company is focused on Climate: An Exclusive Focus on Climate Solutions Aligned Climate Capital LLC (Aligned) is committed to finding real solutions to climate change by accelerating the flow of capital into sustainable real assets—clean energy, efficient transportation, green real estate, and sustainable natural resources. We accomplish this by creating investment products for institutional investors, family offices, high net-worth individuals, and foundations.

From my post: Test The Circular Method – ResCoM Tools – EU – Remanufacturing
♥ Germany
From one of the case studies in the ResCoM tool: tedrive
Was headquartered in Germany, tedrive Steering is a specialised development partner and manufacturer of steering systems for the global vehicle market.
During the ResCoM project, tedrive continued its existing investigation of remanufacturing steering systems, specifically for its hydraulic rack and pinion steering gears for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. tedrive was acquired by Knorr-Bremse in 2016.
Today the Knorr-Bremse Group, based in Munich, is the world’s leading manufacturer of braking systems and a leading supplier of safety-critical sub-systems for rail and commercial vehicles.
(Knorr-Bremse has embraced Re-Manufaturing – an extremely important part of the Circular Economy. They have a full range of “Current vacancies” in many areas…including many intern and student worker positions.) There are many manufacturing jobs, I found one re-manufacturing position.

♥ California Money & Financing
The California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) is the State of California’s only general purpose financing authority. The Legislature created IBank in 1994 to finance public infrastructure and private development that promote a healthy climate for jobs, contribute to a strong economy, and improve the quality of life in California communities.
Join our team! – Come be a part of the IBank team. We are innovative and forward-thinking when it’s comes to business. If this description fits you, join us by applying for one of our open positions!
Small Business Finance Center (SBFC) – The SBFC helps businesses create and retain jobs, and encourages investment in low- to moderate-income communities. The SBFC has several programs to support small business, including a Disaster Relief Loan Guarantee, a Jump Start Loan Program and more.
The IBank SBFC is a state program, whereas the SBA is a federal program. One SBFC program is specifically designed for Disaster Relief by providing up to a 95% guarantee on a bank loan. In order to be eligible for the Disaster Loan Guarantee Program, your business must not qualify for SBA assistance. Governor Newsom announced additional funding to this program on 4/2/2020 to assist underserved businesses that are excluded from PPP and EIDL. The state is tracking federal action and will continue to explore options including advocating for additional federal stimulus. Further, we suggest you reach out to your Congressional representative to ensure that any future stimulus funding comes quickly and that they are aware of the demand in their districts and the many unserved businesses.
The Disaster Relief Loan Guarantee program helps mitigate the risk taken on by traditional financial institutions by offering a guarantee of up to 95% on a loan. We have seven Financial Development Corporation (FDC) partners throughout the state that assist eligible small businesses and non-profits in securing that guarantee on a bank loan. The FDCs work directly with lenders to underwrite the loan. The lender sets the criteria and interest rate before the SBFC approves the loan guarantee.
FIRST STEP: Find a participating lender. The list of lenders we have on our website
https://ibank.ca.gov/small-business-finance-center/ is a list of lenders who have currently made disaster loans and enrolled them in our guarantee program. We understand that the lenders may not be helpful at this point but we are working to add more lenders to the list. Unfortunately, we cannot dictate if lenders choose to only work with existing clients. Please keep checking back and reaching out to new lenders as they are added. We are working diligently to add lenders who have the capacity to assist new clients.
♥ From Europe Direct Contact Centre – The EU Money & Financing
On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 3:51 PM EDCC <[email protected]> wrote:
Dear Lesley Woodfin,
Thank you for contacting the Europe Direct Contact Centre.
The European Commission coordinates various funds with different objectives. Note that these are assigned to projects, depending on their relevance and that, in order to access them, you usually have to apply for a call for proposals of specific interest (call for proposals). Nevertheless, the financing program indicated for you will largely depend on the nature of your project.
In addition, the European Union supports its citizens and companies with various programmes that grant loans, venture capital and other capital financing. These financial instruments are managed by financial institutions such as banks or venture capital funds:
http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/funding-grants/eu-programmes/index_en.htm
You can find an overview of calls for expression of interest aiming at boosting the circular economy amongst SMEs in Europe here:
https://ec.europa.eu/environment/funding/circular-economy-smes/
The EU Competitiveness Programme for Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME) is an EU programme which aims to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of enterprises, in particular SMEs in Europe, by supporting, through the promotion of an enterprise culture and encouraging their growth, the development of the knowledge society and development based on balanced economic growth.
Find this and other information here: http://ec.europa.eu/growth/smes/cosme_en
In addition, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) aims to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the European Union by reducing imbalances between regions.
The ERDF concentrates its investments on several key priority areas. This is known as ‘thematic concentration’:
– Innovation and research;
– The digital agenda;
– Support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);
– The low-carbon economy.
For more information on regional funds (e.g. ERDF), you can seek the advice of the national or regional managing authority (http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/atlas/managing-authorities/). This is the best way to obtain information and personalised assistance and to target the best opportunities available. However, we advise you to consult existing programmes before approaching the managing authorities: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/funding/erdf/
You may also be interested in Horizon 2020, the European Union’s research and innovation programme which aims to boost economic growth and create jobs. Horizon 2020 has been divided into a number of sections. A breakdown of each specific section is available at the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/h2020-sections
You can search for all open calls for proposals in Horizon 2020 on the participant’s portal at the following link:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/index.html
The eligibility criteria, application procedure and detailed descriptions of initiatives eligible for funding are specified in the Associated Work Programmes available here:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/funding/reference_docs.html#h2020-work-programmes-2018-20
Finally, we would like to inform you that the National Contact Point Network (NCP) provides assistance on all aspects of Horizon 2020 in the national language. For contact details, please see the link below:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/national_contact_points.html
The European Enterprise Network (EEN) also provides assistance and advice to companies throughout Europe. It is designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises and assists them in matters relating to EU business. A list of available offices in both EU and non-EU countries can be found at: https://een.ec.europa.eu/
Since you also ask about potential “jobs to fill”, note that, if a citizen is thinking of applying for a job in the EU institutions, it is recommended to take a look at the different types of contract offered by the European Union beforehand. Although permanent posts can be obtained, it may happen that a temporary contract is more in line with their ambitions and needs. Whatever type of contract corresponds to the post for which they are applying, bear in mind that they will probably have to take a competition and that it may take several months before they know whether they have passed.
The following page provides information on the different types of contracts and explains how to apply: https://epso.europa.eu/how-to-apply_en
We hope you find this information useful. Please contact us again if you have other questions about the European Union, its activities or institutions.
With kind regards,
