U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Programs and Their Impacts
Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial
Technologies Program (ITP) has been working with
industry since 1976 to encourage the development
and adoption of new, energy-efficient technologies.
ITP has helped industry not only use energy and
materials more efficiently but also improve environmental
performance, product quality, and
productivity.
To help ITP determine the impacts of its programs,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
(PNNL) periodically reviews and analyzes ITP program
benefits. PNNL contacts vendors and users of
ITP-sponsored technologies that have been commercialized,
estimates the number of units that have
penetrated the market, conducts engineering analyses
to estimate energy savings from the new technologies,
and estimates air pollution and carbon emission
reductions. This paper discusses the results of the
most recent PNNL review (conducted in 2004).
From 1976-2003, the commercialized technologies
from ITP's research and development (R&D)
programs and other activities have cumulatively
saved 3.99 quadrillion Btu, with a net cost savings of
$20.4 billion.
