This document provides an overview of innovation in cleantech and thriving in dynamic markets. It discusses SRI's focus on cleantech research through multidisciplinary technology and solutions in areas like information technology, biotechnology, engineering and more. It presents a visualization of a cubic mile of oil to understand global energy consumption and needs. Any single energy resource is not enough to replace today's requirements, and projected demand is expected to increase substantially to around 7 cubic miles of oil equivalent by 2050 due to population and economic growth.
