Recent EERE Accomplishments

DOE’s SuperTruckprogram enabled over 115% improvement in

tractor trailer efficiency

From 2009-2013 wind represented close to 30% of new electrical generation in

the U.S.

LED deployment within the U.S. has grown more than

90 times since 2009

Transportation Priorities

Program Goals

Vehicle Technologies • Cut battery costs by more than 50% by 2022• Eliminate almost 30% of vehicle weight by 2022• Cut the cost of electric drive systems by 50% by 2022• Demonstrate 35% fuel economy improvement for

passenger vehicles by 2020

Bioenergy Technologies • Make drop-in hydrocarbon fuels competitive with petroleum-based fuels (half the GHG emissions)

• Validate a mature technology plant model price of ethanol production of $2.15/gallon by 2017.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies

• Reduce fuel cell system cost to $40/kW by 2020• Durability = 150,000 equivalent driving miles by 2020• Reduce the cost of renewably produced hydrogen to

$4/kg by 2020

6

Renewable Energy Priorities

Program Goals

Solar Energy • Concentrated Solar Power at $0.06/kWh by 2020• Utility-scale PV system at $1.00/Wdc by 2020• Commercial-scale PV system at $1.25/Wdc by 2020• Residential-scale PV system at $1.50/Wdc by 2020

Wind Energy • Utility-scale land wind at $0.042/kWh by 2030• Offshore wind energy systems $0.14/kWh by 2030• Wind makes up to 20% of U.S. electricity demand in 2030

Water Power • Improve components to allow an increase in wave energy conversion system power-to-weight ratio of 100%

• Expand the contribution of hydropower and pumped-storage hydropower in all identified resource classes

Geothermal technologies • 5-MW enhanced geothermal systems reservoir by 2020• Levelized cost of electricity from new geothermal systems

$0.06/kWh by 2030

End-Use Efficiency Priorities

Program Goals

Advanced Manufacturing • U.S. industry reduce its energy intensity by 2.5% per year

• Reduce life-cycle energy use by 50% in manufacturing processes and products

• Demonstrate technical and economic viability of energy management approaches (building off of ISO 50001)

Building Technologies • Reduce U.S. building-related energy use by 50 percent by2040

Federal Energy Management Program

• Reduce government-wide direct greenhouse gas emissions from targeted sources by 28% in FY 2020

• Ensure that 20% of federal electricity consumption is generated from renewable sources by 2020

Weatherization and Intergovernmental Activities

• Retrofit/Weatherize 300,000 homes of low-income families by 2022

• Accelerate investments in State and Local Sector Energy-Savings Performance Contract (ESPC)

Grid Modernization Initiative

Seamlessly integrating emerging technologies into the grid in a safe, reliable, and

cost-effective manner is critical to enable deployment at scale.

Standards & Codes Lock in Savings

Building Energy Codes and Appliance Standards have proven to be one of our most effective methods in creating large energy savings,

utility bill savings, and CO2 reduction

Building Energy Codes Cumulative Savings (2010 – 2030)

– Energy savings: 14 quads

– Cost savings: $125 billion

– CO2 reduction: 1 billion metric tons

Appliance Standards Cumulative Savings (2009 -2030)

– Energy savings: 40 quads

– Cost savings: $480 billion

– CO2 reduction: 2.2 billion metric tons

Thinking Globally - ISO 50001 Energy Management

• ISO 50001 is an International Energy Management Standard for Industrial and Commercial customers that specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system

• ISO 50001 offers a compliance pathway for many national mandatory or voluntary energy management policies

• ISO 50001 is a great opportunity for multi-lateral cooperation across more than 50 countries—aligned definitions allow for improved cross-border comparisons – a key feature of our climate goals
