The Energy Conversion and Utilization Technologies (ECUT) Program was established as an interdisciplinary applied research and exploratory development program as a result of a 1979 Department of Energy (DOE) Technology Base Assessment. The assessment identified a deficiency in the level of federal support for technology base research needed to sustain long-term efficiency improvements in the conversion and use of energy. The ECUT Program is administered by the Office of Energy Utilization Research, which is in DOE's Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Conservation. ECUT focuses on five interdisciplinary research areas that are generic to energy conservation: combustion, materials, thermal sciences, biocatalysis, and tribology. By challenging conventional wisdom in combination with careful planning, sound decisions, and well-spent dollars, ECUT researchers are pioneering exciting new technologies. In this brochure, we highlight the program's unique approach and some of its major accomplishments.
