Benefits of Technology Transfer
• Attracts research funding
• Forms industrially relevantpartnerships
• Earns royalty income – NREL staffreceive 25% of all royalties.
• Moves discovery to market
• Creates U.S. Jobs

Role of Intellectual Property inResearch
7
• Tools of commerce, not ameasure of good science.
• Provides incentives:
• For private investment in productdevelopment.
• For research staff to disclose theirinnovations.
• Establishes ownership ininvention.
• A means to communicate thevalue of research at nationallabs.

Skyfuel - SkyTrough parabolictrough
• SkyTrough and the steam itproduces match up particularlywell with certain natural gascombined cycle power plants; acombination referred to asintegrated solar combined cycle or “ISCC”
• When a host plant uses solargenerated steam to displacenatural gas fired steam, it saveson fuel costs and cuts emissionsof CO2 and other harmfulpollutants
• Concentrating solar collectors captureand concentrate solar radiation toproduce thermal energy, usually assteam, for use in large power plants
• Ideally suited for delivering heat orsteam to industrial, mining andmanufacturing processes as well aswaste-water treatment anddesalination
• SkyTrough can also be used to heatwater for large commercial orinstitutional facilities such as prisonsand hospitals which require largevolumes of hot water
