Full-text subject-specific scientific and technical reports and journal literature

Subject-Specific Information Tools

The Department of Energy, Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) in partnership with DOE Program Offices, announces new tools for information access, Subject Portals. These versatile subject-specific Web sites provide full-text DOE scientific and technical reports, links to journal literature, and other information sources pertaining to the following subjects: Photovoltaics, Geothermal Energy, FreedomCAR & Vehicle Technology, Hydropower, and Wind Energy.

All Subject Portals include a distributed searching feature, which provides parallel searching across a select set of heterogeneous databases.

If you have questions or comments, please contact the Subject Portals Webmaster at subjectportals@osti.gov .

Updated biweekly, the Photovoltaic Energy (PHV) subject portal provides information pertaining to photovoltaic energy, solar power, solar cells, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Geothermal Energy (GET) subject portal provides information pertaining to the technologies required for economic recovery of geothermal energy and its use as direct heat or for electric power production, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Hydrogen Energy Research (HYD) subject portal provides information pertaining to hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Superconductivity for Electric Energy Systems (SUP) subject portal provides information pertaining to electric power applications of superconductor technology, high Tc-conductors, and other related subjects

Updated biweekly, the FreedomCAR & Vehicle Technologies (FCVT) subject portal provides information pertaining to technologies that will enable trucks and other vehicles to be more efficient, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Wind Energy Technology (WET) subject portal provides information pertaining to the processes by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Biopower Energy Research (BMP) subject portal provides information pertaining to the entire cycle – growing and harvesting the resource, converting and delivering electricity, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Environmental Management Research (EMT) subject portal provides information pertaining to environmental management. The database includes reports published since 1989.

Updated biweekly, the Biofuels Energy Systems (BMF) subject portal provides information pertaining to alcohols, ethers, esters, and other chemicals made from cellulosic biomass, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) subject portal provides information pertaining to the effort to develop clean, competitive, and reliable power options using concentrated sunlight, and other related subjects.

Updated biweekly, the Fuel Cells Technology (FLC) subject portal provides information pertaining to converting fuels to electricity and heat using the process of electrochemical conversion instead of tradiational combustion technologies. There are fuel cells that differ based on the electrolyte used, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), Phosphoric Acid (PAFC), and Solid (SOFC).

Hydropower is an emissions-free, renewable and reliable energy source. With zero air-emissions, hydropower helps in the fight for cleaner air.

Updated biweekly, the Solar Buildings (SLB) subject portal provides information on combining solar energy for improving existing solar buildings technologies and finding new applications and technologies. Energy-efficient construction techniques help create a new generation of dependable, cost-effective buildings.
