Touted by the DoE as the technology component of a comprehensive US plan to address climate change, the Climate Change Technology Program's (CCTP) draft Strategic Plan outlines around $US3 billion in federal spending for climate change-related technology research, development and deployment.
Renewable energy such as wind and solar takes a back-seat to carbon-sequestration technologies, nuclear power, and non-renewable technology options, with any technologies developed under plan to be used and deployed amongst the partners in the Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development.
"This Strategic Plan is the first of its kind and will provide a comprehensive, long-term look at the role for advanced technology in addressing this important global concern," said David Conover, director of the Climate Change Technology Program.
"This forward-looking document will allow us and our partners to drive and capitalise on technological innovation far into the future. The Asia-Pacific Partnership coupled with the technologies that we will develop will have a significant impact in addressing this long-term challenge."
The six goals set by the plan are:
The reduction of emissions due to energy use.
The reduction of emissions from energy supply infrastructure.
The large scale capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide.
An overall reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide.
Implementation of effective means of measuring and monitoring emissions.
Increasing scientific input to dealing with climate change.
The CCTP draft Strategic Plan has released for public comment until early-November, with a final release expected in early-2006.
