Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOE keeps abreast of industry R & D activities and uses a project selection process to ensure that its efforts address industry R & D needs; however, DOE does not formally assess whether industry would undertake this R & D without federal funding. According to DOE officials, DOE participates in numerous consortia, conferences, technical associations, and workshops with the oil and gas industry. Based on its awareness of industry needs gathered from participation at these events, DOE develops research priorities that drive its project solicitations. Applications for individual oil and gas R & D projects are then screened to ensure that the applicant (1) explains the significance of the problem the proposal addresses; (2) demonstrates understanding of the current technology and information gaps; and (3) considers the likelihood that the project will advance the current state of technology. In its review of DOE's oil and gas R & D budget, OMB has challenged DOE to better justify the need for government research.

This book was released on 2007-08-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception in 1977 from an amalgam of federal authorities, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has administered numerous programs aimed at developing applied energy technologies. In recent years, federal oversight of public expenditures has emphasized the integration of performance and budgeting. Notably, the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) was passed in 1993 in response to questions about the value and effectiveness of federal programs. GPRA and other mandates have led agencies to develop indicators of program performance and program outcomes. The development of indicators has been watched with keen interest by Congress, which has requested of the National Research Council (NRC) a series of reports using quantitative indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of applied energy research and development (R&D). The first such report took a retrospective view of the first 3 years of DOE R&D programs on fossil energy and energy efficiency. The report found that DOE-sponsored research had netted large commercial successes, such as advanced refrigerator compressors, electronic lighting ballasts, and emission control technology for flue gas desulfurization. However, some programs were judged to be costly failures in which large R&D expenditures did not result in a commercial energy technology. A follow-up NRC committee was assigned the task of adapting the methodology to the assessment of the future payoff of continuing programs. Evaluating the outcome of R&D expenditures requires an analysis of program costs and benefits. Doing so is not a trivial matter. First, the analysis of costs and benefits must reflect the full range of public benefits that are envisioned, accounting for environmental and energy security impacts as well as economic effects. Second, the analysis must consider how likely the research is to succeed and how valuable the research will be if successful. Finally, the analysis must consider what might happen if the government did not support the project: Would some non-DOE entity undertake it or an equivalent activity that would produce some or all of the benefits of government involvement? This second report continues to investigate the development and use of R&D outcome indicators and applies the benefits evaluation methodology to six DOE R&D activities. It provides further definition for the development of indicators for environmental and security benefits and refines the evaluation process based on its experience with the six DOE R&D case studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal will continue to provide a major portion of energy requirements in the United States for at least the next several decades. It is imperative that accurate information describing the amount, location, and quality of the coal resources and reserves be available to fulfill energy needs. It is also important that the United States extract its coal resources efficiently, safely, and in an environmentally responsible manner. A renewed focus on federal support for coal-related research, coordinated across agencies and with the active participation of the states and industrial sector, is a critical element for each of these requirements. Coal focuses on the research and development needs and priorities in the areas of coal resource and reserve assessments, coal mining and processing, transportation of coal and coal products, and coal utilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although competitive oil and natural gas markets generally provide incentives for companies to invest in R&D, some industry experts believe these companies may underinvest in certain areas. A recent report noted important criteria for the DoE to consider in evaluating its oil and natural gas R&D efforts -- including the likelihood that industry would perform the research without fed. funding. This report reviews: (1) how much U.S. industry has invested in oil and natural gas R&D over the last 10 years, and the current focus of these activities; (2) how DoE's oil and natural gas R&D funding and activities compare with industry's; and (3) to what extent DoE ensures that its oil and natural gas R&D would not occur without federal funding.
