Research and Development for New Energy Technologies in the Private Sector Research and Development for New Energy Technologies in the Private Sector Radu Chiru, Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division Summary The rising cost of energy and the growing concern over climate change and global warming have led to research and development (R&D) for new technologies aimed, among other th [...] From 1993 to 2003, more categories of renewable energy R&D became available for the respondents of the Energy R&D Expenditures by Area of Technology Survey to describe their enterprise’s R&D activities. [...] Over 40% of the $204 million industries spent on alternative energy R&D in 2003 went to R&D in storage of energy technologies, such as hydrogen cells for use in cars or alternative fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel fuels. [...] According to the European wind energy association, at the end of 2004, the European Union capacity was just over 34,000 megawatts.8 The Canadian Wind Energy Association announced that Canada had become the 12th country in the world to surpass 1,000 megawatts of installed wind energy capacity in June 2006. [...] More spending, fewer firms active in alternative and conservation energy R&D Between 2000 and 2003, the number of performers active in alternative and conservation energy R&D fell sharply compared to the period between 1993 and 1996.
