Commercial Implementation

DOE’s Offices of Science and Innovation, Technology Transitions, Infrastructure and more work closely to develop a coordinated strategy for moving clean energy technologies along the continuum from Research and Development through Demonstration and Deployment to keep the U.S. at the forefront of energy innovation as the country accelerates commercialization and deployment to the pace needed to meet national goals.  

Some of the key offices at DOE helping accelerate commercialization include: 

• DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) addresses the critical gap for large-scale demonstration projects, which provide an important bridge from research and development to deployment and market acceptance. 
• The Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) works across the Department of Energy to amplify the commercial impacts of DOE’s investments by accelerating the commercialization of clean energy technologies. As a “leverage office” OTT builds and deploys tools, resources, and targeted funding to enhance collaboration with industry, ensuring that DOE’s breakthrough in clean energy innovation reach the marketplace to support national energy goals.  

These offices also engage with DOE’s nationwide system of national labs. The labs provide critical expertise and data to inform program design and implementation; provide in-depth technical assistance to the private sector, states, Tribes, and communities; and build the analytical backbone supporting efforts that range from technology deployment to supply chain improvement.  

This integrated support from leading technology and industry experts expands DOE’s ability to connect with more private sector organizations and fuel commercial liftoff and market adoption for new clean technologies—the foundation for a new wave of construction, manufacturing, and energy jobs.
