ENERGY TECHNOLOGY MATURATION ACT OF 2017
MAY 21, 2018.-Ordered to be printed
Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 1799]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S.1799) to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005
to facilitate the commercialization of energy and related tech-
nologies developed at Department of Energy facilities with prom-
ising commercial potential, having considered the same, reports fa-
vorably thereon without amendment, and recommends that the bill
do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 1799 is to facilitate the commercialization of
energy and related technologies developed at Department of Energy
(DOE) facilities with promising commercial potential.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Congress directed technology transfer to be a part of the mission
of federal government research agencies beginning in the 1980s.
Since that time, DOE has led the federal government in
transitioning technologies to outside entities for commercialization
through the use of a variety of mechanisms, including Cooperative
Research and Development Agreements, Strategic Partnership
Project Agreements, and the licensing of intellectual property.
Improving the ability to transition technologies from DOE to the
private sector continues to be a focus of Congress and the Depart-
ment. S. 1799 provides another means to enable national labora-
tories to work with the private sector, and especially small busi-
nesses, to commercialize innovative energy technologies.
