The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) leads national efforts to improve industrial energy efficiency and environmental performance. ITP is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and contributes to its efforts by partnering with U.S. industry in a coordinated program of research and development, validation, and dissemination of energy efficiency technologies and operating practices.

ITP works with industry to save energy and money, increase productivity, and reduce environmental impacts by:

  • Conducting R&D on new energy efficient technologies
  • Supporting commercialization of emerging technologies
  • Providing plants with access to proven technologies, energy assessments, software tools, and other resources
  • Promoting energy and carbon management in industry

In this section, you can find information about ITP's goals for reducing industrial energy efficiency. You can also access program publications, contacts, budgets, news, and state activities.

Goals 

The ITP Multi-Year Program Plan includes specific and crosscutting goals for fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2012 that call for ITP to:

  • Complete 1,500 Energy Savings Assessments
  • Launch ANSI-accredited plant energy-efficiency certification process and certify 1,500 plants
  • Commercialize 15 new technologies
  • Achieve cumulative 5-year savings of 500 trillion Btu through program activities

To carry out the mission of transforming the way U.S. industry uses energy, ITP has embraced an overarching goal of driving a 25% reduction in industrial energy intensity by 2017 and an 18% reduction in U.S. carbon intensity by 2012. Learn more about how ITP plans to meet these goals.
