Abstract
Our report offers analysis and recommendations designed to accelerate the pace at which better energy technologies are discovered, developed, and deployed, and is focused in four key areas:
Designing an expanded portfolio of federal investments in energy research, development, demonstration (ERD&D), and complementary policies to catalyze the deployment of novel energy technologies;
Increasing incentives for private-sector innovation and strengthening federal-private energy innovation partnerships;
Improving the management of energy innovation institutions to maximize the results of federal investments; and
Expanding and coordinating international energy innovation cooperation to bring ideas and resources together across the globe to address these global challenges.
