In accordance with Section 15 of the Federal Nonnuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-577), this report presents a discussion of the energy research, development, and demonstration (RD and D) program currently being conducted by the Energy Research and Development Administration. The RD and D program is in consonance with the President's National Energy Plan, submitted to the Congress on April 20, 1977. Three components in the Plan to achieve the national objectives are to carry out effective conservation programs to reduce the growth of energy demand to less than 2 percent; industries using gas and oil to convert to other resources; and pursue a vigorous research and development program to provide energy source needs for the next century. This report considers the Plan in seven chapters: Understanding Conservation; Reviewing the Conservation Technology Base; Technologies that Expand Existing Fuel Sources; Technologies That Use New Fuels; Development of Support Technologies; On-Going Program Planning Studies; and Overview of ERDA's Budget.
