A study is presented that identified, screened, and provided information on various technologies which offer significant potential for energy conservation yet require applied research and development to achieve that potential. The scope of the study and the methodology used to identify and screen energy conservation R and D opportunities are discussed. Results of the R and D opportunities study are discussed, including a tabular summary of conservation potential and example R and D needs. General aspects of the new energy policy and its effects on the federal role in energy conservation are discussed. The potential effects of the new energy policy upon areas of applied R and D identified under previous criteria are illustrated and elements of the new federal role in energy conservation are summarized.
