The U.S. Dept. of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has launched a website that consolidates funding information for various interests, including businesses.

In fiscal year 2004, EERE awarded $506 million in financial assistance. Its most recent solicitations cover small business research and technology programs spanning topics such as biofuels, lightweight materials, electric energy storage for vehicles, power electronics, sensors and controls.
