Industrial Technologies Program – Industrial Energy Systems

Industry Partnerships

The Industrial Energy Systems Subprogram creates public-private partnerships to combine the expertise of industry and government to develop solutions to complex industrial challenges identified by the Industries of the Future. ITP, in collaboration with industry, have developed visions and roadmaps with specific R&D pathways to improve energy system efficiency, as well as the energy efficiency of supporting industries. The priorities identified in roadmaps are compared to the results of analytical studies to identify the best opportunities for energy savings. ITP and industry share the costs of R&D projects that offer significant improvements.

A Vision and/or a Roadmap are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs for the following energy systems and supporting industries. Download Adobe Reader.
