Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

ETA's research drives real-world, practical results that affect and improve the everyday lives of Americans and those across the globe. Saving energy and battling the Climate Crisis are key to the foundation of our research, which is driven by technoeconomic analysis and in-lab experimentation and discovery.

Center of Expertise for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers' New Website

January 23, 2014

The Department of Energy-led Center of Expertise demonstrates national leadership in decreasing the energy use of data centers. The Center partners with key influential public and private stakeholders and supplies know-how, tools, best practices, analyses, and the introduction of technologies to assist Federal agencies with implementing policies and developing data center energy efficiency projects.

The Center of Expertise is located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Berkeley Lab has long been recognized by industry as a leading source for technical expertise on energy efficiency in data centers. The Center partners with public and private organizations to advance joint initiatives benefiting both sectors; whereby the adoption and deployment of energy efficient technologies and best practices serves as a "new normal" for data center facilities managers.
