International Applications
NREL's International Program in its effort to promote the use of renewable energy as a tool for sustainable development, applies world-class expertise in technology development and deployment, economic analysis, resource assessment, project design and implementation, and policy formulation.
Environmental Applications
Major components of NREL's Environmental Programs include implementation of domestic and international air pollution programs and climate change programs; development of integrated energy and local environmental protection strategies; green power programs; greenhouse gas emission offset projects; and environmental assessments.
Assisting State and Local Governments
Using renewable energy and being energy efficient is smart. Not only does it protect the environment, it benefits the economy. Many mayors, governors, city/county commissioners, state legislators, state energy office staff, and other state officials are now looking into clean energy programs for their states or cities. If you're part of this forward-thinking group, check out our State and Local Initiatives site.
Saving Energy and Water in Federal Buildings
The Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory assists government agencies like yours in implementing projects that increase energy and water efficiency. Many projects also include clean, sustainable, renewable energy systems. Check out the FEMP Web site for help with using authorized private-sector financing methods to fund qualifying projects. FEMP also can assist you in selecting renewable energy and distributed power technologies — such as solar water-heating systems, photovoltaics, wind turbines, geothermal systems, and biomass power — that meet your facility's needs.
Green Power Network
NREL's green power program activity analyzes the implications of customer choice on the market demand for renewable energy in both regulated and evolving competitive electricity markets. Analyses include the market potential for green power, the status of domestic green power marketing activities, the role of customer aggregation in green power market development, and successful utility green pricing strategies. NREL maintains the Green Power Network for DOE.
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Web site provides hundreds of Web sites and thousands of online documents on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
