Innovative Energy Technologies Move Closer to Commercial Use $9 million matching commercialization funds will advance research projects to create products and services

In total, DOE will provide more than $33 million in funding for 82 projects supported by the OTT’s Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF). TCF connects DOE’s national laboratories with private sector companies, which are critical for maturing and deploying emerging technologies to the market place. “As recently as last year, TCF was instrumental in greatly accelerating the commercialization of a technology PNNL developed to create realistic decoys within operational technology networks to attract hackers trying to manipulate remote systems, and keep them engaged while countermeasures are taken” said Lee Cheatham, PNNL’s Director of Technology Deployment and Outreach. “Attivo Networks was able to use the funds to build out a deception defense platform for cyber-physical systems. We are excited to see similar success stories with the partners and technologies selected by OTT.”
The TCF projects are funded for three to five years with PNNL researchers working directly with private partners to accelerate innovations toward commercial products and services. PNNL projects awarded 2020 TCF funding include:
• Magnetic Nanoparticle Extraction of Lithium from Produced Waters Industry partners: Canada Natural Resources Limited, Conoco-Phillips Corporation, Hatch Engineering, Moselle Technologies, LLC Promising iron-based nanoparticles will be tested as a new means of collecting valuable lithium and other rare earth metals from briny waters produced by oil and gas development.
