Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

This multi-phase project will use a structured analytical process; based on economic modeling of the energy system; to create a common basis of understanding among industrial/government stakeholders that are involved in ongoing debate surrounding the future of coal within the U.S. energy system and the future of energy R&D.  There are two major elements of this effort:  a scoping study; and a detailed analytical effort directed at FE interests and priorities. 


 

Project Background:



Project Drivers



The President has set forth an aggressive set of policy goals as part of the National Energy Policy and the Administration's environmental policies; such as the Clear Skies Initiative and National Climate Change Strategy.  



These policy goals have a number of critical implications for the U.S. energy system; and fossil energy system in particular.  Among the implications are the need to:

· cost-effectively meet future U.S. energy demand; which in 2050 is projected to be up to 50% larger than the energy demand of today;

§ reduce U.S. vulnerability to foreign energy supply disruptions;

§ improve the energy system's flexibility; reliability; and safety; which requires utilization of a diversity of energy sources; and

§ dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of the energy system.



These goals cannot be achieved through incremental change.  They will require dramatic improvement in the overall performance of the energy system; which can only be enabled by advanced technologies.
