As part of this effort, a total of $20m financing packaged has been launched by the office’s Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) to help fund the development of advanced energy related technologies with commercial potential.
The funding will also help strengthen partnerships between the national labs and private sector companies that can deploy energy technologies.
The Office of Technology Transitions director Jetta Wong said: "Every day our national labs are developing innovative new technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the way we generate, store, and transmit energy.
"But in order to accelerate the use of clean energy technologies, we need to get more of these breakthroughs out of our labs and into our marketplace.
"The launch of this fund is an important milestone for OTT as it approaches its one-year anniversary and demonstrates our efforts to expand the commercial impact of DOE’s research and development portfolio."
In addition to enhancing the US DOE’s technology transitions system, the TCF will complements the DOE’s efforts within Mission Innovation, which intends to double clean energy research and development (R&D) within five years and drive technologies to market.
