Background
The Department of Energy (DOE) is conducting the Quadrennial Technology Review (QTR), a comprehensive assessment of science and energy technology research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RD3) opportunities to address our nation's energy-linked economic, environmental, and security challenges. The QTR is examining an “all of the above” range of energy technologies to inform the configuration of the Department's programs and priorities, industry and university engagement, and national lab activities, and will serve as a key input into the Department's forthcoming Science and Energy Plan.
Webinar and Input Process
As part of the QTR 2015 activities, the Office of the Under Secretary for Science and Energy hosted two webinars to describe work in progress. Details on the first webinar are available here. The second webinar took place on March 4, 2015. Written comments are welcome and should be submitted on or before April 9, 2015 to DOE-QTR2015@Hq.Doe.Gov . The comment process following this webinar will provide an opportunity for stakeholders and experts to provide input for DOE to consider, as the Department gathers facts and information for candidate areas of RD3 in the United States. Preliminary work was presented, and policy issues, if touched upon, are separately explored by the Quadrennial Energy Review (QER).
