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 ft 2 ) 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

4 The stabilizing effects of INL allow for more effective
functioning of state and local governmental services. BSU Impacts
Report, Fall 2010 INLs 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
Slide 5
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 5

INLs 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 10

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 11

Sample INL Inventions and Innovations
Slide 15
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 (1/20 th 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.
Slide 16
Supercritical Solid Catalyst (SSC) 16 SSC produces ASTM-quality
B-100 biodiesel from waste fats, oils, and greases 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 industrys heat pressure
capabilities Avoids toxic solvents and excessive capital investment
SSC: By coupling supercritical fluid solvents and solid catalysts,
SSCs 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.
Slide 17
Compact High Efficiency Natural Gas Liquefier 17 A new,
patented process to make liquefied natural gas directly from
pipeline gas without pre-treatment for CO 2 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. 10,000 gallon per day Compact
High Efficiency Natural Gas Liquefaction Plant, 15,000 gallon
storage tank, and a 10,000 gallon delivery truck
