2 Mission: Enhance U.S. security and economic growth through transformative science, technology innovation, and market solutions to meet our energy, nuclear security, and environmental challenges Energy: Catalyze the timely, material, and efficient transformation of the nation’s energy system and secure U.S. leadership in clean energy technologies. Science & Innovation: Maintain a vibrant U.S. effort in science and engineering as a cornerstone of our economic prosperity with clear leadership in strategic areas. Nuclear Safety & Security: Enhance nuclear security through defense, nonproliferation, and environmental efforts. Management & Operational Excellence: Establish an operational and adaptable framework that combines the best wisdom of all Department stakeholders to maximize mission success. $29.9 billion: FY16 Budget Request 17 National Laboratories 100,000+ Employees and Contractors 200+ facilities for private sector use 16,000+ patents for licensing $29.9 billion: FY16 Budget Request 17 National Laboratories 100,000+ Employees and Contractors 200+ facilities for private sector use 16,000+ patents for licensing

3 Mission: To expand the commercial impact of DOE’s portfolio of RDD&D activities over the short, medium and long term. What: OTT is the functional unit that coordinates the Department’s multiple paths of RDD&D activities toward technology transfer and commercial development of DOE’s research outputs. How: OTT develops and oversees delivery of the DOE strategic vision and goals for technology commercialization and engagement with the business and industrial sectors across the US. Why: OTT will help derive the maximum impact for the Department’s investments. Lab-to-Market Initiative is a Cross-Agency Priority Goal focused on accelerating and improving the transfer of new technologies from the laboratory to the commercial marketplace

11 Energy Policy Act 2005: Planning and Reporting Requirements Technology Transfer Execution plan and reports Progress toward meeting goals Funds expended under the Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) Approach Develop a TTEP-focused on DOE’s current goals and implementation steps for enhancing National Laboratory commercial impact from FY 2015 – 2017 Outline DOE’s updated, future-looking approach to the TCF Emphasize OTT’s role in technology transfer leadership and coordination responsibilities in EPAct 05 Review Existing Draft Compile Internal and External Input Incorporate TCF planning and strategy Draft new Plan Get Feedback on Initial Plan Finalize Plan Status: Complete Status: Ongoing Status: Complete

12 EPAct 2005 Energy Technology Commercialization Fund “The Secretary shall establish an Energy Technology Commercialization Fund, using 0.9 percent of the amount made available to the Department for applied energy research, development, demonstration, and commercial application for each fiscal year based on future planned activities and the amount of the appropriations for the fiscal year, to be used to provide matching funds with private partners to promote promising energy technologies for commercial purposes.” FY 2015: Continue current approach to TCF and set up the infrastructure and processes for new approach in FY16.

13 Option #1: Early Technology Maturation Option 1: Early Technology Maturation Fund technology maturation projects at national laboratories to move early-stage technologies to proof-of-concept or prototype stages, with matching private funds. (Scale: $100-300k/project) Option 1: Early Technology Maturation Fund technology maturation projects at national laboratories to move early-stage technologies to proof-of-concept or prototype stages, with matching private funds. (Scale: $100-300k/project) Option 2: Laboratory Technology Transition Awards (Seed-Stage) Provide seed funding for transitioning energy technologies from national laboratories and universities to the early commercialization phase, in collaboration with a small business or large company. (Scale: $250-500k/award) Option 2: Laboratory Technology Transition Awards (Seed-Stage) Provide seed funding for transitioning energy technologies from national laboratories and universities to the early commercialization phase, in collaboration with a small business or large company.

14 For Official Use Only – Not for Distribution Clean Energy Investment Initiative White House Announcement of DOE Clean Energy Impact Investment Center When fully established in OTT, the DOE Center will provide: Single Point of Access for Information Technical Assistance Public Information on Early-Stage Projects and Companies “You have the capacity to fundamentally change our direction... We need you to continue to work to bring even more philanthropies and investors on board.” - Vice President Biden, June 16, 2015 February 10: ARPA-E Summit Announcement February 26: DOE SLAC Roundtable April 6: DOE NYC Roundtable April 21-22: Chicago Event June 16: White House Summit 14

15 When fully established in OTT, the DOE Center will provide: Single Point of Access for Information : Through dedicated, accessible staff resources, the Center will make information about DOE programs accessible and more understandable to the public, including mission-driven investors. The center may also provide connections to points of contact and subject matter experts within relevant DOE programs and other U.S. Government Agencies including the USDA, HUD, DoT, EPA, NSF, SBA, and the Treasury Department. Technical Assistance : The center will share research and analysis produced by DOE and its National Laboratories on relevant developments in clean energy technology. Furthermore, the center will offer a mechanism for identifying the need for new technology analysis from DOE. Information on Early-Stage Projects and Companies: DOE currently has programs including ARPA-E, SBIR, STTR, and others that help to fund and accelerate emerging early-stage technology projects and companies. The center will aggregate and make available public information on entities currently engaged in partnerships with DOE.

16 What is its purpose? Provide increased information and connections between potential industrial partners and laboratories What is it? A lab-led service to facilitate effective communication, to access unique capabilities and opportunities for partnership Where did the idea come from? – Lab Technology Transfer Working Group made this recommendation in the QTR – Interim Report of the Commission to Review the Effectiveness of the National Laboratories: Preliminary recommendations include increased access for the private sector to DOE’s laboratory scientists and capabilities through “relationship managers” – Similar request coming through the Clean Energy Investment Initiative (CEII) 16

17 Contact: OTT@hq.doe.gov What techniques and strategies OTT help promote for marketing new technologies? What are key challenges to incorporating new technologies into Federal projects? What role can OTT plan to help identify strategies to overcome resistance to incorporation of new efficiency and renewable technologies into real world projects?
