Transportation Program:
making today's vehicles more efficient while pressing for an aggressive transition to advanced vehicles and non-petroleum fuels
Climate program:
developing and promoting U.S. state and regional policies to reduce global warming pollution in order to build models for, and momentum toward, federal global warming policy

Grant Details:

Power program supports policies that: yield large-scale purchases of renewable energy, expanding the size of the industry; yield substantial investments in the utility sector to improve energy efficiency; and remove market and regulatory barriers to renewables, efficiency, and clean distributed generation.

Buildings program seeks to establish stringent state and national appliance and equipment standards, and create public policy incentives that pull super-efficient appliances and equipment into the market and result in buildings that surpass model energy codes by 30-50 percent.

Transportation program provides biofuels grants that aim to: analyze the potential economic and environmental benefits from advanced biofuels; develop model policies that expand state, federal, and private research and commercialization efforts concerning biofuels; build regional networks of farm groups as a new voice for rural economic development, oil security, and environmental benefits of advanced biofuels; and understand and promote the most sustainable path for large-scale biofuels development.

Climate program areas of work include: state and regional carbon cap-and-trade programs, state and regional global warming plans and pollution reduction targets, financial mechanisms such as incentives or carbon taxes, and other direct controls to reduce global warming pollution.
