Budget
The budget appropriation for the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) for fiscal year (FY) 2008 was about $63.1 million. The FY 2009 budget appropriation is $140 million, a $76.8 million increase from the FY 2008 appropriation. Internal funding shifts reflect a continued strategy to emphasize more effective and efficient ways to increase energy efficiency among energy intensive industries. The shift toward more crosscutting and higher impact R&D activities will allow ITP to focus on fewer R&D projects with higher impacts for a broader set of industries.
The following table shows the breakdown among ITP's subprograms for FY 2008 and 2009, as well as the requested FY 2010 budget.
