U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ANNOUNCES OVER $65 MILLION IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDING TO COMMERCIALIZE PROMISING ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES

2021 Technology Commercialization Fund Awards Connect Private-Sector Partners to DOE National Labs, Bolstering U.S. Competitiveness While Combating the Climate Crisis

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced over $30 million in federal funding, matched by over $35 million in private sector funds, for 68 projects that will accelerate the commercialization of promising energy technologies—ranging from clean energy and advanced manufacturing, to building efficiency and next-generation materials. These awards will help deploy innovative solutions from DOE’s National Labs onto the marketplace helping to create new jobs and businesses, while strengthening the nation’s economic competitiveness and achieving President Biden’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“President Biden is serious about making sure America corners the clean energy market—and that means we need to work with our nation’s savviest entrepreneurs to fast-track solutions from DOE’s National Labs into commercial-ready technologies,” said Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “These projects will help us deploy game-changing innovations that position us to win the clean energy race, while creating jobs and opportunity across every pocket of the country.”

The Vehicle Technologies Office’s selected federal facilities and partners are:

  • Lightfield Directing Array Commercialization, $1,500,000 - Bright Silicon Technologies, San Francisco, CA with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
  • Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors for The Scale Up of High Energy Density Cobalt-Free Cathodes for Advanced Lithium ion Batteries, $1,200,000 - Sparkz, Knoxville, TN with Oak Ridge National Laboratory
