Idaho technologies get $7.5 million federal funding boost

Idaho National Laboratory technologies and projects won more than $7.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) program.

TCF is a highly competitive program that supports the commercialization of DOE national lab plant and site technologies and buildout the national lab commercialization ecosystem. INL won awards for 11 of its 17 proposals, a 65%-win rate, making it one of the most successful years for projects funded and money awarded.

“We’re beyond excited to have so many of the lab’s technologies and projects receive these TCF awards,” INL Technology Deployment Director Jason Stolworthy said. “It demonstrates DOE’s confidence in the work we’re doing at INL, but it really gives us the opportunity to take our technologies to the next level in commercialization, so they can be put to use and impact the nation.”
