BlackLight Power, Inc. has built an extensive patent portfolio worldwide arising from the BlackLight Process including its power source, power systems, a new class of chemistry based on hydrinos, new chemical processes, new light sources, and new laser media.  To accelerate commercialization, BlackLight is pursuing a broad, inclusive licensing approach to commercial development across all affected industries.  The largest market opportunity is the revenue from avoided fuel costs by power producers.  BlackLight is focused on the pursuit of the commercialization of the BlackLight Process, optimization of the solid fuel and regeneration chemistries for continuous operation, and scale-up engineering and development of its electrochemical CIHT technology while generating valuable new intellectual property.  BlackLight believes its fuel and regeneration chemistries can be developed into commercial power applications and intends to pursue their utilization in power plants of all useful scales.  This will be done in parallel with the chemical engineering through a combination of internal engineering and development, external consultants and outsourcing, licensed joint ventures and acquisition of engineering and design companies.  The Company has hired external engineering firms. 

In exchange for royalty fees and milestone payments, the Company intends to license the BlackLight Process and its related energy technology to power producers and power users globally in all fields of power production and utilization.  In related chemical and laser applications, BlackLight is negotiating restricted licenses on a royalty basis and also plans to pursue joint ventures.  BlackLight is non-exclusively licensing its process to make power for a fixed royalty payment per kilowatt-hour of thermal or electric. To date, the Company has licensed the rights to produce approximately 8,250 MW of new electrical power to seven companies, including five electrical utilities and two independent power producers. Collectively the combined utility companies own, purchase, or manage electric power production of approximately 7,600 MW and service nearly one million customers. The avoided fuel costs from these agreements could be in excess of $2 billion per year.

The currently executed licensing agreements are expected to create a market into which engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms that design and construct power plants as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may sell power equipment. The Company plans to license the EPC firms and OEMs on a sales-royalty basis wherein they are restricted to only offer BlackLight-related goods and services to BlackLight Process licensees.  BlackLight anticipates power producers contracting for turn-key plants or having the option of purchasing, plant design, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance services and equipment provided by the EPC firms and OEMs with BlackLight receiving a steady revenue stream from power generation as well as royalty revenue on related plant procurement.  BlackLight intends to remain the owner of the key power and related technologies, and to maintain its strategic position by intellectual-property (IP) grant backs, continued direct R&D, contracted development with EPC firms and OEMs, and by potential acquisitions and licensing.
