A3: ATP Funds Energy Research

Higher gas prices and increasing concern about energy supply have raised awareness of the need for new energy sources.  ATP has been investing in energy-related technologies for many years.

In FY 2002, a total of 30 energy-related projects were part of ATP's portfolio:

• 9 projects were awarded in FY 2002
• 6 projects were awarded in FY 2001
• 11 projects were awarded in FY 2000
• 2 projects were awarded in FY 1999
