2. Department of Energy FY 13 Budget
Request: Building an Economy to
Last & Protecting Americans
Invests in clean energy and safely
harnessing our energy resources
Supports science and innovation
“Think about the America within our
reach: A country that leads the world in Saves money for families and
educating its people. An America that businesses by saving energy
attracts a new generation of high-tech
manufacturing and high-paying jobs. A Cuts costs for U.S. manufacturers

3. Long-term, Strategic Planning
FY 13 Budget Request guided
by 2011 Strategic Plan and
Quadrennial Technology Review
3

4. Budget Request of $27.2 Billion
Reflects tough choices to cut back in areas in order to invest in
strategic priorities
Cutting what’s not needed: President’s budget eliminates ~ $4 billion in
unnecessary fossil fuel subsidies. Scales back work on sodium-ion
batteries for grid-scale energy storage since Recovery Act project is on
track to show commercial viability.
Cutting what’s not working: Over the past two years, ARPA-E, FE and
EERE have discontinued funding for a combined total of nearly 35 projects
that did not meet research milestones nor hold promise to achieve
success.
Investing where we can have the greatest impact: Given the
commercial success of onshore wind energy, wind program focuses on
next generation technologies and offshore wind. Levelized cost of land
based wind across U.S. (unsubsidized) is estimated to be 7.2 c/kWhr.

5. Commitment to Fiscal Responsibility
and Management Excellence
• Organizing along lines of business and coordinating across programs
to maximize energy technology R&D in areas from solar to batteries to
biofuels and more.
• Saving taxpayer money through more efficient operations.
Avoided $3M in costs in FY11 through reduced travel; instituted use of non-
refundable airline ticket purchases when travel isn’t expected to change;
Achieved roughly $330M in strategic procurement savings in FY11;
Overhauled Energy.gov to consolidate websites and save $10M annually.
• Reducing our vehicle fleet by 35% in the next few years.
• Reduced the time to hire by more than 40% and will continue to improve.
5

6. Better Leveraging our Innovation Resources to Deliver new
Products to the Market
• Streamlined CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement) contract and approval process.
• Reduced advanced payment requirement for industry to work with
national labs.
• America’s Next Top Energy Innovator initiative: Introduced simplified, low-
cost option agreement for licensing national lab patents to start-ups ($1K
option fee for up to 3 patents).
• Added flexibility for licensing: Exclusive patent licensing and equity
positions in lieu of upfront payments are permitted.
• Implementing ACT (the Agreement for Commercializing Technology pilot
initiative). Participating labs will have the ability to negotiate with industry
on more industry standard terms.

7. Saving Money by Saving Energy
$310 million to improve commercial
and residential building efficiency
Supports the President’s Better
Buildings Initiative to catalyze private
sector investment in commercial
building efficiency
Promotes passage of HOME STAR to
provide rebates to help families invest in
home energy upgrades

8. Strengthening U.S. Manufacturing
Advanced Technology Products Trade $290 million for Advanced
Balance, 1990-2010 Manufacturing Office to support
R&D on materials and
processes to help
manufacturers cut costs
Manufacturing is also supported
throughout DOE (ex: batteries,
solar, advanced computing,
ARPA-E).
Forming a coordinated effort in
manufacturing R&D across SC,
EERE and ARPA-E.

12. Safely Harnessing American Energy
$12 million for research to
advance technology and
methods to safely and
responsibly harness America’s
abundant natural gas resources
58% of our gas in 2010 was
from unconventional sources:
Shale gas, tight gas and
coalbed methane

13. “The Department of Energy was there with research funding when no one else was interested and
today we are all reaping the benefits. Early DOE R&D in tight gas sands, gas shales, and coalbed
methane helped to catalyze the development of technologies that we are applying today.”

the greatest threats to global security …. And that’s why…I called for
a new international effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials
around the world in four years. This is one part of a
broader, comprehensive agenda that the United States is pursuing --
including reducing our nuclear arsenal and stopping the spread of
nuclear weapons -- an agenda that will bring us closer to our ultimate
goal of a world without nuclear weapons.”
-- President Obama , 4/13/10, Nuclear Security Summit
