DOE Funding Focus
Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science – There would be $1.6 billion (FY 08: $4.0 billion) for a mix of extramural basic research, DOE laboratory research, facilities upgrades and construction, and advanced scientific computing. The stimulus appropriation combined with the regular appropriation could leave DOE OS with a FY 2009 budget of $6.0 billion or higher, well above the $5.3 billion authorized for FY 2009 in the America COMPETES Act of 2007 and thus on a track to double over a decade. In addition to the Science funding, the stimulus bill also provides $400 million to start up the ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy), authorized in the America COMPETES Act of 2007 but never appropriated until now.
Department of Energy (DOE) energy programs – The stimulus bill provides $2.5 billion for energy efficiency and renewable research, development, demonstration, and deployment projects, of which $800 million is set aside for biomass (FY 08: $198 million) and $400 million for geothermal energy (FY 08: $20 million). There would also be $1.0 billion specifically for R&D programs within a $3.4 billion total Fossil Energy appropriation, which will fund R&D related to cleaner coal, oil, and gas technologies, including research on carbon sequestration.
DOE Award Process
Science and basic research in the energy technologies of the future: Investments in building and renovating laboratories and research facilities to create jobs immediately and enable the research that will sustain American industry and provide new energy and climate solutions. $1.6 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy (ARPA-E): Jump start advanced energy technologies by funding high-risk, high-payoff research in collaboration with industry. $400 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Rebuilding facilities for basic science is vital for maintaining America’s role as the world leader in innovation. These construction projects will allow ongoing research into high energy and nuclear physics, basic chemical and materials science, nanotechnology, biological and environmental science, advanced computing, and other cutting-edge fields. The key will be ensuring the discoveries made in Department of Energy labs find their way to the assembly line as more efficient production processes and into stores as new products offered by American companies. Learn more about the scientific research supported by the Department of Energy.
Battery research and advanced vehicle technologies: Loans and grants to support the development of advanced vehicle batteries and battery systems to reinvigorate the U.S. auto industry, reduce the U.S. dependence on foreign oil, and transform the way automobiles are powered. $2 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Smart Grid technology and transmission infrastructure: Build the transmission lines and grid technology infrastructure needed for a better, smarter grid to transport electricity – from the places renewable energy can be produced to the places it will be used. Learn more about the Smart Grid. $4.5 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Clean fossil energy technology: Develop innovative technologies for clean coal, petroleum coke and other plants of the future, allowing our nation to safely use our abundant coal and fossil energy resources. $3.4 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This set of initiatives will focus on research, development and deployment of technologies to use coal more cleanly and efficiently. Investments will go both toward finding and testing new ways to produce energy from coal, such as gasification, and improving techniques to clean or capture and store the emissions from coal-fired power plants. Learn more about the Department of Energy’s clean coal initiatives.
