US Priorities DOE in Spending and Planning

• US DOE Spending priorities can be seen in the FY
  2006 budget request
• (www.govforums.org/EW/ documents/fy06_budget_brie
  f.pdf)
• Longer term planning can be seen from the
  recently passed
• 2005 National Energy Act

Targets from Title II Renewable Energy

• Provides for an ongoing assessment of renewable
  energy resources.
• Requires the Federal government to purchase a set
  amount of electric energy from renewable
  resources.
• 3 for 2007-2009 5 2010-1012 7.5 2013
• Requires 20,000 PV systems to be installed in
  public building by 2010 (150 MWe)

6
Targets from Title XV Ethanol and Motor Fuels

• Requires that by 2012, at least 7.5 billion
  gallons per year of renewable fuel be blended
  into the nations gasoline supply
• Allows production of renewable fuel from such
  traditional sources as corn and other crops or
  from plants, grasses, agricultural residues and
  waste products. The bill includes incentives for
  the production of renewable fuel from these
  non-traditional sources, allowing greater
  credits for ethanol derived from cellulosic
  biomass or waste
• Authorizes loan guarantees and grants for the
  construction of facilities to process and convert
  municipal solid waste and cellulosic biomass into
  fuel ethanol and other commercial byproducts.

A total of 68 studies were mandated in Title
XVIII Studies

• Sec.1604. Renewable energy on Federal land
• Sec.1610. Hybrid distributed power systems
• Sec.1820. Overall employment in a hydrogen
  economy
• Sec.1823. Alternative fuels reports
• Sec.1825. Fuel cell and hydrogen technology study
• Sec.1826. Passive solar technologies
• Sec.1833 Renewable energy on Federal land

8
Targets from Title VIII Hydrogen

• Directs the Secretary to conduct a broad-based
  research program supporting private sector
  efforts in hydrogen and fuel cell development,
  including production, storage, distribution and
  use of hydrogen and fuel cell applications for
  transportation and stationary uses
• Sets a goal of enabling the private sector to
  make a commercialization decision on fuel cell
  vehicle production hydrogen for transportation by
  2015

9
Targets from Title IX Research and Development

• Creates the Next Generation Lighting Initiative,
  a public-private partnership to develop advanced
  solid-state lighting devices.  These devices are
  longer lasting and more energy efficient and
  cost-effective than incandescent or fluorescent
  lighting
• Requires the Secretary to conduct cutting-edge
  research and development in renewable energy,
  including bioenergy from celluosic feedstocks,
  concentrating solar power, ocean energy, and
  cogeneration of hydrogen and electricity from
  renewable sources

10
Title XIII Energy Policy Tax Incentives

• Extension and modification of renewable
  electricity production credit (Section 45).
  Cost 2.747 billion
• Clean renewable energy bonds. Provision creates
  new category of tax credit Bonds Clean Renewable
  Energy Bonds (CREBs are defined as bonds in
  which 95 percent of proceeds are used to finance
  qualifying capital expenditures)
• Cost 411 million
• Alternative technology vehicle credits (fuel cell
  vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, and hybrid
  vehicles and advanced lean-burn technology
  vehicles Cost 874 million
• Credit for installing of alternative fuel
  refueling property.
• Cost 71 million
• Credit for business installation of qualified
  fuel cells, stationary microturbine power plants,
  and solar. Cost 222 million
