Over the past 24 years, ITP has supported more than 550 separate research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects, producing over 140 technologies that have successfully reached the marketplace. These technologies |
| have resulted in significant energy savings, waste reduction, increased productivity, lowered emissions, and improved product quality for U.S. manufacturers.
By working in partnership with industry, ITP helps minimizes the risks for individual companies of investing in new technology and leverages limited R&D resources. ITP does this by:
- Working with industry through the Industries of the Future strategy to identify research priorities
- Supporting collaborative RD&D with Industries of the Future-agriculture, aluminum, chemicals, glass, forest products, metal casting, mining, petroleum, and steel
- Providing technical assistance such as plant assessments and system improvements
- Financial assistance to encourage technology demonstration
ITP currently has more than 120 technologies that are emerging from research and development and are expected to be ready for commercialization within the next one to two years. Of these, more than 50 have been identified as being immediately ready for field testing. Check for new information about emerging technologies solicitations.
For full details on all of ITP's commercialized and emerging technologies, see the publication, Impacts: OIT Summary of Program Results. |
