Descriptions of 8,139 current (1973-1975) energy-related research projects, representing approximately 75 to 85% of all industrial energy research and 95 to 100% of all state and Federal Government research, are presented in this third edition of the Inventory (Volumes I, II, and III). Projects are organized according to subject of research, with these main subject categories: Energy Sources, Electric Power; Energy Uses and Conservation; Economic and Legal Aspects; and Environmental and Health--Energy Related. The description of each project includes the title, location, duration, and expenditures of the project; the research performer, principal investigator(s), and funding organization; a short description of the project; and a list of publications resulting from the research. Volume IV contains indexes for Keywords, Research Performer, Sponsoring Agency, Investigator, and Location, and a Permuted Title Index. Summary Tables are found in Volume V, which presents data on: Yearly Energy R and D Expenditures by Research Fields and Sponsor, by Type of Industry Sponsor, by Research Performer, by Sponsor Type and Research Performer, by Research Performer and R and D Type, by State Where R and D is Performed, and by Research Fields and R and D Type; Scientific Manpower by Research Performer; and Expenditures Within Detailed Research Fields. These tables point out that the Federal Government spent over $2.5 billion for energy R and D in 1975, and industry invested over $800 million. About half of Federal energy R and D funds were used in electric power generation research from 1973 through 1975. Solar energy R and D budgets have increased from $12.5 million in 1973 to $54.2 million in 1975. (BYB)
