The EERE Mission Directly Supports the National Energy Policy

The Mission of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is to strengthen America’s energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality through public-private partnerships that:P promote energy efficiency and productivity;

P bring clean, reliable, and affordable energy technologies to the marketplace; and

P make a difference in the everyday lives of Americans by enhancing their energy choices and quality of life

3

EERE fulfills its mission through the pursuit of 3 objectives

Objective 1: Modernize conservation. EERE energy efficiency programs constitute the majority of Federal efforts to improve the energy performance of the American economy by improving the productivity with which we use energy in our homes, vehicles, factories, and energy production and delivery systems.– Reduce U.S. energy intensity by 29 percent in 2020, compared to

expected reductions of 26 percent without EERE Conservation programs.

– Complete the weatherization of 753,000 low-income households from 2003 through 2008.

4

Objective 2: Increase energy supplies

Accounting for some 9 percent of domestic energy production (including hydropower), America’s vast domestic renewable energy resource base provides substantial opportunity for increasing and diversifying domestic production. EERE focuses on promoting technological improvements necessary to allow the private sector to develop these domestic resources.– Through public-private partnerships, increase renewable energy

production by 70 percent in 2020, compared to an increase of 28 percent without EERE programs, including provision of about 22 percent of the expected 240 GW of additional electricity capacity installed between 2005 and 2020 with the EERE portfolio.

5

Objective 3: Modernize our critical energy infrastructure

EERE’s portfolio employs an integrated supply and demand systems approach to reducing the stress on our Nation’s energy infrastructure by reducing peak demand for energy, developing on-site energy resources, and improving the efficiency with which energy is provided and distributed. Through public-private partnerships, help ensure the adequacy of our electricity generation and transmission system through the development by 2020 of:

– 56 GW of distributed generation (compared to 38 GW without EERE programs) and technologies facilitating an improvement in the operating efficiency of existing transmission capacity.

– Demand and load management techniques and practices which allow an approximately 9 percent reduction in the expected 949 GW projected peak electricity demand, and provide the opportunity to reduce peak loads on an emergency basis.

The Development of Hydrogen was made a US Priority in 2003

• This $1.2 billion Hydrogen Fuel Cell Initiative was announced by President Bush in his 2003 State of the Union Address

• Combined with the FreedomCAR (Cooperative Automotive Research) initiative, President Bush is proposing a total of $1.7 billion over the next five years to develop hydrogen-powered fuel cells, hydrogen infrastructure and advanced automotive technologies.

FY 2004 Hydrogen Production Funding ($38.5M)

Renewables – $17.3 million (EERE)• Direct water splitting using solar energy• Thermal processes using biomass• Advanced electrolysis from wind power• Biological WGS Processes

Nuclear – $4 million (NE)• High temperature chemical cycles for

splitting water

Coal – $5 million (FE)• Separation of pure hydrogen gas from synthesis gas (CO and hydrogen)• Technologies also applicable to biomass

feedstocks

Natural Gas – $12.2 million (FE/EERE)• Small, distributed

systems to begin making hydrogen available at local refueling stations

• Centralized Production

Energy Independence Through Diversity of Domestic Supplies

DOE Offices of Fossil Energy, Nuclear Energy, and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy are collaborating on cost-shared hydrogen production R&D:

"Tonight I am proposing $1.2 billion in research funding ….

"With a new national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free.

President Bush Launches the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative

FreedomCAR (Cooperative Automotive Research) is a partnership between

DOE and the U.S. Council for Automotive Research, a cooperative

endeavor among DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and GM to conduct pre-competitive, high-risk, high-payoff research into

advanced automotive technologies.

On January 9, 2002, Energy Secretary Abraham announced the

FreedomCAR Partnership

By catalyzing the simultaneous development of both the hydrogen-fueled vehicles through FreedomCAR, and the necessary hydrogen

production and refueling infrastructure through the President’s Hydrogen Initiative, government leadership will help advance

commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure by 15 years, from approximately 2030 to 2015.

National Commitments

United StatesCommitted $1.7 billion for the first five years of a long-term hydrogen energy technology and infrastructure development program.

European UnionCommitted up to € 2 billion to long-term research and development of renewable and hydrogen energy technologies.

JapanFuel cell and hydrogen technology research, development, and demonstration program has tripled in size since 1995.
