The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Technology Transitions intends to issue its annual appropriated Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) solicitation, a call for proposals from National Laboratories, Plants, and Sites. The goal of TCF is to improve America's energy competitiveness and security by accelerating commercialization and shepherding critical clean energy technologies from lab to market, where the private sector will continue to innovate.
The estimated funding available for this appropriated TCF Lab Call could be approximately $20 million and the solicitation could offer an opportunity for industry, state and local governments, and other non-federal entities to partner with a National Lab to advance energy-related technologies and intellectual property.
