Energy Efficiency Technologies research at INL is involved in all non-nuclear energy technologies. Its work involves industrial materials, fossil and renewable energy, energy conservation and efficiency and advanced vehicle testing. The group offers technical expertise in the areas of geothermal, hydropower and wind energy development; distributed power systems; advanced battery development and testing; oil and gas technologies; hydrogen production, storage and use; and carbon management.
At the request of many federal and industrial customers, directorate staff apply their expertise in industrial processes such as welding, intelligent process control, robotics, spray forming, separations and process simulation to deliver one-of-a-kind products and services. The INL serves as the lead laboratory for advanced highpower energy storage testing and evaluation for the Partnership for New Generation Vehicles and the Hybrid Vehicle Propulsion Programs of the United States Advanced Battery Consortium. INL is also the lead laboratory for the Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity, the National Geothermal Program, the National Hydropower Program, and a regional leader for Wind Powering America. .
