Programs in renewable energy, fiscal year 1989
Federal involvement in renewable energy research and development (RandD) focuses on long-term needs to achieve national policy goals. Private-sector 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 perform. The US Department of Energy's Renewable Energy 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. This publication describes the specific research activities that will be undertaken during FY 1989 in each individual program along with the results expected from those activities.
