Accomplished Programs and Collaborations Applying science- and engineering-derived technologies to solve difficult problems is what the INEEL's Energy and Engineering division are all about. The diversity of its science and technology portfolio enables the division to aggressively transition scientific discoveries into applied engineering solutions. The division plays a pivotal role in exchanging information between researchers and developers among DOE national laboratories, universities, private industries and other interests around the world. It uses unique partnership and funding mechanisms to launch critical business relationships. Our partners are from industry and academia, and federal agencies with national security, energy, defense and land management responsibilities. We also have international partners in Belgium, Canada, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, United Kingdom and the United Nations. The division's three directorates command a wide variety of technical capabilities. These abilities are used to increase energy efficiency and develop alternative energy sources. Technologists also use these abilities to understand complex human systems and engineer sophisticated worker machine interfaces to perform efficiently while protecting workers and the environment. The focus of each directorate is described in the following paragraphs.
This directorate is the focal point for all non nuclear energy research and development at the INEEL. It conducts key R&D; programs for the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, the DOE Office of Fossil Energy and associated industrial firms to develop technologies that ensure:
Bioenergy/Bioproducts Initiative
Hydrogen Initiative
This multi-disciplinary research and development group applies science and engineering to develop, demonstrate and deploy low-risk operational practices and new technologies to protect human health and the environment. It consists of four departments whose functions include developing environmental remediation and waste management technologies, transporting and disposing of spent nuclear fuel and conducting bench-scale environmental laboratory research.
This directorate is dedicated to applied research, science and engineering. It focuses human and systems science to shape human safety and performance. It develops and deploys automated systems to protect workers, emulate human performance and increase productivity. There are four departments in this directorate whose functions include research, identifying long-term environmental stewardship science and technology needs, and enhancing remote, robotic and automated systems. Other capabilities include discovering and documenting environmental impacts of site activities on ecological and cultural resources, and using systems and decision science to increase the defensibility and effectiveness of decisions.
