The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) continues to expand and establish new programs helping to meet national goals addressing the impacts of climate change.

• The National Renewable Energy Laboratory Science and Technology (NREL) works to develop and advance renewable energy and energy-efficiency technologies through initial testing, scale-up projects, and field demonstration.
