In this report we evaluate the market conditions for existing Wisconsin manufacturers to further develop prod- ucts and processes to support green energy industries, and we identify specific R&D opportunities to leverage existing capacity and capabilities to meet the current development requirements of the wind, solar, biogas, and lithium battery industries. Global climate change will require changes in how we produce energy. At the same time, recent geopolitical events combined with the COVID-19 outbreak is certain to lead to a reevaluation of global supply chains. Taken in combination it is likely that market and policy changes will create significant opportunities for the domestic manufacture of the components associated with the production of ‘green’ energy. Using a combination of NAICS industrial data and proprietary firm data, that is scalable to the national level, we determine the real capacity for Wisconsin State manufacturers to participate in the component supply chain associated with wind and so- lar power. We find that there exists significant untapped manufacturing capacity that could be utilized in the relatively short term if required and if opportunity costs are deemed appropriate. We also address bridgeable capacity gaps and workforce-related issues.

Introduction: Changing Climate, Consumer Preferences, and Producer Preferences. A growing consensus regarding the policy significance of global climate change is likely to require relatively swift changes to how we produce energy. This change, as with all changes, will bring both challenges and op- portunities. With this study, we hope to provide assistance to Wisconsin manufacturers to minimize the former while enabling us to more fully exploit the latter. The broad manufacturing base of the state, combined with a solid transportation network, and a strong educational system is well placed to become a significant component to the supply chains of so-called green technologies. Countries worldwide are now facing dual challenges of combating climate change while fueling economic growth. Renewable energy is one of the most viable solutions to control and reduce the impact of greenhouse gases produced by conventional fossil fuels. The transition to renewable energy is well underway both in Wis- consin and nationally, and in this report we intend to identify Wisconsin firms that are well-suited and well-po- sitioned to shift into the manufacture of components for green industries.

As entrepreneurs and business leaders representing thousands of employees, we have followed signals from this Administration and invested billions of dollars in developing a U.S. biodiesel industry that has successfully delivered more than 5 billion gallons of EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel under the RFS since you took office. We are extremely concerned that you could be retreating on your previously unwavering support for biodiesel in a way that would have severe consequences for the industry’s future. Specifically, we want to state as clearly as we can that a decision to finalize a biodiesel volume of 1.28 billion gallons, as initially proposed by the EPA in November, would result in a sharp drop in production that would cause layoffs and plant closures, while sending a devastating signal that the Administration has thrown in the towel on its support for biodiesel. Until this proposal was released by the EPA last year, that support was resolute.
