Analysis at NREL aims to increase the understanding of the current and future characteristics, roles, and interactions of government, markets, and technologies. The acquired understanding is used to inform technology, benefits, market, policy, and program decisions as energy efficient and renewable energy technologies advance from concept to commercial application.
Technology Analysis
Evaluating the Attributes of RE Technologies. NREL's Technology Analysis examines RD&D areas in terms of potential costs, benefits, risks, uncertainties, and timeframes.
Benefits Analysis
Projecting the Impacts of RE Technologies. The Lab's Benefits Analysis looks at the economic, environmental, security, and other impacts of current renewable energy programs.
Market Analysis
Understanding Market Responses to RE Technologies. The Lab's Market Analysis helps key players increase the use of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies in the marketplace.
Policy Analysis
Identifying Policies that Complement RE Technologies. The Lab's Policy Analysis evaluates policies that can advance — or provide alternatives to — renewable energy technologies in meeting national goals
Program Analysis
Determining the Goals of RE Technology Research. The Lab's Program Analysis conducts work that shapes the Department of Energy's (DOE) budgeting, planning, and management functions.
