1. 1 Gideon Varga Industrial Technologies Program U.S. Department of Energy Introduction to the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP)

2. 2 Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) Mission Improve national energy security, climate, environment, and economic competitiveness by transforming the way U.S. industry uses energy.

3. 3 Trends in Energy Intensity by Sector Index (1980 = 100) * Change in real value-added for industrial sector Sources: EIA, Dept. of Commerce, PNNL Based on primary energy use

4. 4 Industrial Technologies Program Thrusts Develop technologies addressing top energy saving opportunities in the industrial sector Industry-specific Crosscutting Energy Efficiency R&D Help plants save energy today by assessing opportunities and facilitating adoption of best energy management practices and efficient new technologies Technology Delivery and Deployment Drive a 25% reduction in industrial energy intensity over 10 years

5. 5 ITP Research & Development Industry-Specific Aluminum Chemicals Forest and Paper Products Metal Casting Steel Technologies to use energy more productively across diverse manufacturing sectors Advanced technologies for specific, energy- intensive industries Crosscutting Energy Intensive Processes Materials, Combustion, Sensors Nanomanufacturing Fuel and Feedstock Flexibility Distributed Energy (CHP and Reciprocating Engines) Information and Communication Technology

7. 7 Supported > 600 R&D projects Produced > 220 commercialized technologies Received 42 R&D 100 Awards between 1991 and 2007 Saved 5 quads of energy and reduced carbon emissions by 86MMT*Ce ITP: Delivering R&D Results For 30 Years Working with industry, we have successfully developed and moved cutting-edge technologies and energy-saving measures into practice. * Million Metric Tons

8. 8 Why Focus on Information and Communications? Server-based data centers and telecommunications already use 3% of the nation’s electricity. Energy costs exceed the cost of data center IT equipment over its 3-5 year useful life. Data center energy use is increasing by 12% annually. Existing facilities face power and cooling constraints. Broadband is increasing telecom sector energy use. Even with the positive impact of ITP’s Technology Delivery, further advances through R&D are needed to meet national energy goals.

9. 9 Tech Delivery: Energy-Efficient Data Centers Released “DC Pro” data center evaluation tool Created training curriculum Performed data center assessments Promote systems approach in design, energy management and operation Raised awareness of energy efficiency opportunities via case studies (Lucas Films and Verizon) Conducted Federal showcases Recognized industry leaders (Uptime awards)
