Leveraging INL to Catalyze Economic Development
Points of Discussion:• INL’s Mission and the Impact on Idaho• INL Technology Deployment• INL Technology-Based Economic Development
Presented by:Steven T. McMaster,Director of Technology Deployment

A Refresher Course on INLINL overview:
– 890 square miles• (perspective: District of Colombia is
69 square miles and the state of Rhode Island is 1,045 square miles)
– 111 miles of electrical transmission and distribution lines with a peak load of 45 MW • (perspective: enough to power
22,000 homes)– 332 buildings (3.1 million ft2) with an
average age of 29 years– Abundant water
• (perspective: Snake River Plain Aquifer approximately the size of Lake Erie)
– 177 miles of paved roads – 14 miles of railroad lines– Full complement of utilities and services

“The stabilizing effects of INL … allow for more effective functioning of state and local governmental services.” BSU Impacts Report, Fall 2010
INL’s Contribution to the Idaho Economy• A major employer– INL is responsible for a total of 24,000 jobs
(direct & indirect) in Idaho• An engine of economic growth – Total economic impact on the state of Idaho
of $3.5B– Responsible for increasing personal income
in Idaho by nearly $2B• An economic stabilizer and major
contributor to civic and charitable causes– Directly and indirectly paid more than
$135M in taxes– Purchased more than $296M in goods
and services from Idaho companies– Employees donated more than 240,000
hours of their time to community groups and associations
Fiscal year 2005 - 2010 Idaho Contract Awards Total $640M 2010 Goal of $102M -- 2010 Attainment of $120M (projected)
Economic Impact in Idaho
Feb. 2005 through FY10 projected

This approach includes:
Collaborating with Technology-Based Economic Development Resources• Idaho TechConnect • Kickstand Idaho• Science on Tap and Science
Café • Idaho Economic Development
Association• Idaho Rural Partnership• Idaho TechLaunch• Idaho Ideas to Market• Idaho Internship and
Entrepreneurial Program

INL’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP)• 2005 - 2010
– Supported 153 TAP projects, providing technical expertise • 2010: 23 projects, including:
– Idaho Department of Environmental Quality– Boise Biologics– University of Idaho– Idaho Department of Water Resources– Melni Group– Meter Insulator– Good Earth Bio-Solutions, and more
• TAP is designed to: – Provide assistance not commercially available in the region – Provide support, with up to 40 hours without charge– Provide technical support (not certification or recommendations)– Assist technology-based businesses in overcoming difficult barriers to
advance enterprises for business retention, expansion, or creation

Conclusion
INL exists for the national interest
INL is a great resource not fully leveraged by Idaho
INL is reinventing how it manages Technology Deployment
INL is open to opportunities to strategically partner

Antibody Profiling Identification
15
A rapid (two-hour), inexpensive method to identify forensic evidence based on unique individual antibody patterns.
Principal applications:• Forensic sampling at crime scenes • Two-four hour results, speed investigations• Reliable, accurate, field ready• Effective with small samples
(1/20th drop of blood)• Complements DNA testing
Auto-antibodies: Human body produces unique antibodies after age two to eliminate unwanted proteins or antigens, usually foreign to the body. These antibodies protect us from disease and rid the body of cellular debris.
Supercritical Solid Catalyst (SSC)
16
SSC produces ASTM-quality B-100 biodiesel from waste fats, oils, andgreases at the site of waste generation.
Principal applications:• Revolutionizes biodiesel production• Single-step, continuous process• Validated in demonstration producing of greater
than 100K gallons • Converts fats, oils, greases to energy• Uses current industry’s heat pressure capabilities• Avoids toxic solvents and excessive capital
investment
SSC: By coupling supercritical fluid solvents and solid catalysts, SSC’s patented, continuous-flow offers a single-step process that overcomes the polar liquid phase inherent in conventional biodiesel production. It eliminates multiple phases and processing time, while reducing capital costs and offering transportability with a micro-refinery not larger than two semi-trailers.
Compact High Efficiency Natural Gas Liquefier
17
A new, patented process to make liquefied natural gas directly from pipeline gas without pre-treatment for CO2 removal at prices competitive with large-scale LNG plants.
Principal applications:• Replaces diesel and gasoline fuels for vehicle
fleets• Supports peak load shaving/stand-by for gas
utilities and industry• Offers ability to develop local resources in
developing countries• Potential for other applications – methane from
coal mines and landfills, coal bed methane sources, and un-purified natural gas sources.
CNG/LNG: The compact liquefier is powered mainly by energy from the pressure drop between the gas transmission line and a distribution line that branches off at this location. The process consumes no natural gas and liquefies 8-10% of the gas flow.
