BNL – A Passion for Discovery

dis·cov·er·y• something new learned or found• the fact or process of finding out about something for the

first time


Public Sector Research

Innovation Engines

• National Labs are increasingly important source of technologies and enterprises

• Private sector more reliant on universities and government labs, public funding sources for longer-range R&D and new product pipelines

• Licensing, alliances, ventures, etc., complement corporate internal R&D resources and market channels

• Economic growth and employment driven through smaller technology businesses

BNL: Strategy for the FutureBuilding the discovery to deployment pipeline

• Organizational focus: Global and Regional Solutions(GARS) Directorate

– Applied sciences researchin Energy andNational Security

– Technology Transferleadership

• Use facilities and staff totie together seeds and needs

– Connect BNL discoveries to deployment challenges

• Broaden business base of BNL


Nurturing Technologies and Entrepreneurs

• Technology maturation– Harvesting LDRD program inventions– Internal seed funding for Maturation projects

• New business start-ups– Equity– Entrepreneurial Leave– Entrepreneurial business creation

– BNL “Business in a Box"– Connections to early stage investment and entrepreneurs– Establishing a stable of business management and

incubation resources– Education and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs


BNL Innovation Vision ElementsFully Integrated Across the Laboratory

BNL people are actively engaged in creating, managing, and deploying valuable inventions and assets to bring the products of DOE laboratory research to impactful practice

Discovery and Innovation [the deployment of invention] are central to our culture

BNL’s innovation process is use-inspired and delivers enabling science and technology discoveries which consider end-use relevance and impacts

All parts of BNL - from fundamental discovery science to applications development and engineering - play critical roles in our innovation environment

Deployment of BNL discoveries to deliver impact through technology transfer, licensing, partnership and business development are key indicators of our success

Technology deployment is supported from the top of BNL, and engages all stakeholders in a shared commitment

Patent Growth Rates of CCMT Categories


Barriers to Deploying Clean Energy

• Cost of renewables VS fossil fuels• Inconsistent policy framework

– Unpredictable market structure• Capacity of government to provide financial

incentives• Availability and cost of financing (high interest

rates with limited capacity)• Fiscal risk / hedging costs and perceived

country risks for international financiers• Infrastructure limitations / Ability of grid to

manage intermittent resources
