Innovation Platform Program

Fiscal Year 2012

Purpose To link the development and innovation capabilities and capacities of an already established Innovation Platform and all its resources at an Ohio college or university or not-for-profit research institution to specific late stage development and innovation needs of Ohio companies

Innovation Platform – an already existing capacity that incorporates unique technology capabilities and strengths, talent, equipment, facilities, engaged industry partners, a track record of research commercialization and innovation, intellectual property, and other resources in a particular technology area that collectively can serve as a vehicle for significant, industry-defined and directed opportunities through the development and commercialization of new products and innovations

FY2012 Proposals• 37 proposals submitted

• 35 proposals passed Development’s administrative review

• Proposals based in one or more 8 technology areas:

- Advanced Materials (13) - Aeropropulsion Power Management (3)

- Fuel Cells & Energy Storage (7) - Medical Technology (14)

- Software Applications for business - Sensing & Automation Technologies (6)

and healthcare (3) - Solar Photovoltaics (3)

GoalOhio University proposes to use its Electrochemical Innovation Platform to transition

two technologies to commercial products: (1) a metal recycling process for used battery cathodes to recover metals for use in new lithium ion batteries (in collaboration with BASF Corporation), and (2) develop a low-cost, high-accuracy urea sensor for diesel emission control; (in collaboration with E3 Clean Technologies)

Market SizeMetal Recycling :

• Consumer electronics market size: $5 to $10B per year. The cathode is 50% of the cost of the battery cell; hence, cathodes occupy ~$1B per year of the consumer electronics battery market. Additionally, Decreasing the cost of the cathode would result in a $2 to $3B market opportunity for cathode materials in the automotive market.

Urea Sensor :• Today, the market size is approximately 700,000 units per year. This is

expected to grow to 2,000,000 units by 2016. At $30/sensor, this translates to a $60M market.

Other Economic Objectives• Over $100M in new product sales by year 5• New jobs pay nearly double the local prevailing wage

Committee Concerns• Projects are essentially separate, result: untenable management plan• No OEM’s are presently onboard with the commercialization plan of the UREA

sensor• Insufficient details supplied on the metals recycling process and alternate

pathways

Market Size• W&K: The US electricity market was $400B in 2009. Costs of electricity are going

up at rate of ~7% per year, accelerating the time to grid parity cross over for PV. The US Electricity market had ~1000 GW of capacity in 2006.

• Isofoton: the HCPV market is currently ~0.5% of the worldwide PV Market. The PV market has grown at about 40% year on year for last 15 years with 26 GW installed in 2011. So the size of the market in 2001 was roughly 120 MW. Isofoton expects the HCPV market will grow at about 40%/yr., which translates to a size of 168 MW in 2012, 235 in 2013, 329 in 2014, 461 in 2015, 646 in 2016

Other Economic Objectives• Over $135M in total revenue by year 3, over $300M in year 5• Other details listed as trade secrets

Committee Concerns• Questionable past performance on OTF awards by WK• Recent layoffs and decision to re-tool operations at WK raise serious worries

regarding succesful completion of the project• Overall solar market may not be receptive to the new products described in

Other Economic Objectives• Revenues from new products: at least $66M/year by year 5• Become an international center of semiconductor-based sensor technologies

Committee Concerns• Commercialization strategy is flawed: using the supplied numbers, it is

impossible for the 4″ GaN wafer project to show a profit in the foreseeable future.

• Distinct impression that the project is designed more to provide opportunities for NWL than to create jobs or economic impact in Ohio

• General lack of overlap between the MPM project and the rest of the group
