Renewable technologies program summaries, FY 1988
Federal involvement in renewable energy R and D focuses on long-term needs to achieve national policy goals. Industry tends to focus on short-term rather than long-term activities and is generally reluctant to invest in projects that do not produce tangible benefits in the near term. The Federal Government, on the other hand, sets long-term R and D priorities for energy security and fills the gaps in the early phases of high priority R and D that industry is not willing or able to undertake. The continuum of DOE funded research - from basic, to applied, to proof of concept - is maintained through multi-year commitments, with the DOE role varying along the continuum. The DOE program provides for industry involvement in determining long-term research needs, sponsors the research needed to address these priorities in collaboration with industry, and disseminates research results. The energy marketplace and private industry are best suited to develop and produce near-term renewable energy technologies at rate consistent with their market viability and suitability. This report describes the specific research activities that will be undertaken during Fiscal Year 1988 in each individual program, and the results expected from those activities.
