Agenda
3
A Unique Moment in Time
All on One Stage – Leaders of 20 Countries Representing over 80% of Global Clean Energy R&D Investment Launched Mission Innovation
Each Country Will Seek to Double its Governmental Clean Energy R&D Investment over Next Five Years (www.mission-innovation.net)
Mission Innovation Launch was Complemented by Annoucement of Independent Breakthrough Energy Coalition (www.breakthroughenergycoalition.com)
Rationale
On Climate Change, Time is Running Out:
Atmospheric Concentrations of GHGs are Rising, with Substantial and Growing Impacts
Business as Usual Approach is Unacceptable
Current Solutions and Nationally Determined Contributions are Helping, but More Ambition Is Needed
The Pace of Innovation Remains Too Slow
4
Power of Innovation:
Costs of Wind, Solar PV, Battery Costs, and LEDs Have Dropped Dramatically
More Innovative Ideas Are on Cusp of Realization, but Need a Boost to Market
Government and Private Investment Needed
Innovation Can Speed Solutions and Mitigate Climate Change Impacts for Long Haul

Scope of Mission Innovation forU.S. FY 17 President’s Budget Request
Clean energy technology is any process, product or system of products and processes, that can be applied at any stage of the energy cycle from production to consumption, whose application will reduce net greenhouse gas emissions, and can meet one or more of the following characteristics:
• reduced demand for water resources
• reduced waste
• reduced emissions of other air pollutants
• or reduced concentrations of contaminants in wastewater discharges.
9
• Mission Innovation consists of early-stage clean energy elements of
existing programs that are research, development and demonstration
(RD&D) – not deployment
• FY 2016 U.S. government-wide baseline is $6.4 billion and, of this, the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) baseline is $4.8 billion (75%)

MI Portfolio: New Cross-cutting Initiatives
Regional Clean Energy Innovation Partnerships– Establish regionally-based innovation partnerships focused on
regional innovation capabilities, resources, markets, needs and opportunities ($110M)
– Two principal issues: design of a partnership and establishment of regional boundaries
National Laboratory Small Business Partnerships – Expansion of EERE small business voucher pilot program ($20M)
National Laboratory Energy Technology Innovation Accelerators– Provide clean energy entrepreneurs with seed funding, technical
support, and access to lab researchers and capabilities; modeled after LBNL Cyclotron Road Partnership ($25M)
21
Notional Role of Regional Partnerships
Regional Innovation Centers
• Large-scale multi-state regions (perhaps up to 10)
• Not-for-profit entities (preferably consortia modeled after RPSEA)
• Partnerships can include state and federal governments, universities, industry and national laboratories
• Serve as planning and funding entities; no bricks-and-mortar or in-house R&D
• Broad latitude to set priorities across all clean energy technologies based on regional needs, opportunities and R&D capabilities
• Single annual DOE funding stream based on annual program plans; use of flexible funding vehicles (e.g. Other Transactions Authority)
• Capability to establish cost-sharing partnerships with the Breakthrough Energy Coalition and other federal and non-federal funding entities (e.g. State Green Banks)

Office of Technology Transitions: Mission
In February 2015, the office was created to expand the commercial impact of DOE’s portfolio of RDD&D activities over the short, medium, and long term. Through these efforts, OTT works to increase the return-on-investment from federally-funded scientific
and energy research.
● 3-D printed house in Oak Ridge highlights the possibilities of new manufacturing technologies.
● Nanosys partnered with DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 3M, and LG to develop Quantum Dot Enhancement Film that offers displays with 50% wider color spectrum at a comparable price without using more energy. This tech is being used in the new Kindle Fire 7 and demonstrated in new HD TVs.
