The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) provides cost-shared funding to selected R&D projects that address industry-defined priorities as well as national goals for energy and the environment. Projects focus on potentially high-payoff technologies that are too risky or costly to attract adequate private funding.

The Forest Products portfolio seeks to reduce energy intensity in the forest products industry. The strategy to achieve that goal evolves in response to new opportunities and emerging national priorities. The ITP Forest Products portfolio currently has several active projects. In addition, the ITP has numerous completed projects that have produced direct benefits for the industry.

Selection of projects is based on merit-based criteria that emphasize projected energy, environmental, and economic benefits. Applicants assess these benefits using a standardized analysis procedure available in the online Project Evaluation Tool. This standardized process ensures the selection of the most promising projects in the target area for pre-competitive R&D.
