Tax Incentive
Energy Project -
The Tax Incentives Assistance
Project (TIAP), sponsored by a coalition of public interest
nonprofit groups, government agencies, and other organizations in the
energy efficiency field, is designed to give consumers and businesses
information they need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for
energy efficient products and technologies passed by Congress as part of
the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Hydropower -
Colorado Renewable Energy Society - Hydropower -
The energy in flowing water has been
used by humans for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks fashioned water
wheels to grind grain, and the pull of gravity on water, effectively
harnessed in hydroelectric facilities, has served as a reliable source of
power for commercial and industrial activities in modern times.
l
BioMass -
Colorado Renewable Energy Society - Biomass -
Biomass technologies include numerous
ways of using organic matter to directly generate power, heat, be
processed into fuels, or converted to organically derived chemicals and
other materials.
Since many types of
organic matter is constantly renewed, biomass processes offer the
benefit of generating oxygen while growing, and their combustion or
conversion generates much less carbon and toxins than conventional
fossil fuels.
l
Hydrogen -
National Hydrogen Energy - Hydrogen and
fuel cell technologies have the potential to solve the major energy
security and environmental challenges that face America today — dependence
on petroleum imports, poor air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. The
Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies Program is working to
implement the technology development efforts need to realize the vision of
a hydrogen economy.
The Hydrogen, Fuel Cells &
Infrastructure Technologies Program responds to several recommendations
in the President's National Energy Policy, including the development of
next generation technologies, establishment of an education campaign
that communicates potential benefits, and better integration of
subprograms in hydrogen, fuel cells, and distributed energy. It is the
lead Federal agency for directing and integrating activities in hydrogen
and fuel cell R&D, and is responsible for coordinating the R&D
activities for
DOE's Hydrogen Program.National

Geothermal -
Geothermal Energy -
the earth itself offers large supplies of energy. While fossil fuels such
as coal, oil, and gas are extracted from the earth and burned, geothermal
energy can often be tapped with minimal environmental impact. Heat
eminating from the depths of the earth can drive turbines for electricity
production or used for direct building heating; and the moderate
temperatures underground can supply geothermal pumps with cool water to
circulate throughout buildings in the summer.
