National Renewable Energy Laboratory
NREL Programs
NREL's total estimated funding for FY08 was $304 million, with nearly 87% of the Lab's funding coming from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Private firms, other DOE offices, and other government agencies provide the balance of the Laboratory's funding.
DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)
NREL conducts renewable energy and energy efficiency R&D in 12 main programmatic areas. Each research area is enhanced by crosscutting functions, including industry partnerships and technology transfer, analysis, and program integration.
