This report is intended to provide a preliminary assessment of the current state of supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) technology to assist the US Department of Energy's Office of Industrial Programs (DOE-OIP) in determining its future role in this field. The Center for Energy Management and Industrial Technology of University City Science Center (UCSC) researched recent literature and interviewed 18 SCFE experts in performing this study. The section Review of SCFE Technology'', is based on information drawn from recent literature and discusses the theory and background, as well as the applications, of SCFE. The results of the interviews are contained in the section Current Activity in SCFE--Interview with Experts in the Field''. The experts' opinions and comments about applications of SCFE, SCFE R D activity, and SCFE funding and support are included in that section.
