“Heartwarming tales of rescued creatures are presented in this collection of vignettes from a large wildlife rehabilitation center.”—Booklist. “Her brief stories are often touching, such as when she describes a young raccoon, rescued from a fire, self-medicating its burned paws with aloe vera plants; or two crab-eating macaques, confined inside a research facility for eighteen years, experiencing the outdoors for the first time.”—Natural History. “This book deserves a spot on every library shelf along with such nonfiction animal story classics as Adamson’s Born Free, North’s Rascal, and the work of Jane Goodall.”—Appraisal: Science Books for Young People

The Compressed Air Challenge, initiated by DOE, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, and the Energy Center for Wisconsin, is in keeping with OIT's mission of partnering with industry, and other government and non-governmental organizations, to significantly improve the resource efficiency and competitiveness of the materials and process industries. They are working to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial compressed air systems, and in the process help industry realize reduced operating costs and increased production.

In today's competitive world markets, the success of U.S. industry hinges on technological advances. Financial Assistance helps technology innovators develop and deliver clean, energy-saving technologies to the marketplace. Two Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) programs Inventions and Innovation and NICE3 provide independent inventors, technology developers, and industry with easy access to a flexible package of services. Together, these programs issue 35 to 40 new grants each year to address pressing energy and environmental issues. Financial Assistance focuses specifically on technologies that can potentially improve energy efficiency, reduce wastes, and enhance productivity.

The Department of Energy's Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) Technical Assistance Program provides the tools and assistance to help manufacturers identify their best energy-efficient, pollution-preventing options, from a systems and life-cycle cost approach. Technical Assistance focuses on five key opportunities for energy efficiency and waste reduction: electric motors, steam, compressed air, combined heat and power, and the Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs). By promoting the use of available technologies, Technical Assistance helps industry immediately impact its bottom-line performance and build its position in global markets.

The US Department of Energy's Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) provides a one-stop-shop information clearinghouse that manufacturers can use to help make their businesses more productive, competitive, and efficient. The fact sheet describes these sources of information, which include software and databases, a technical newsletter, technical publications, and access to a comprehensive Web site that lists OIT programs, training opportunities, and links to other pertinent sites.

This OIT fact sheet describes how your company can realize savings in its electric motor, compressed air, and steam systems, in the form of reduced electrical bills and improved efficiency.

A new industry-led partnership with the US Department of Energy is strengthening the US chemical industry's competitive position and furthering national economic goals. This document describes how the partnership is promoting advanced technologies that optimize energy efficiency in operations and reduce waste and energy-related emissions.

This FEMP Technical Assistance Case Study describes the use of solar water heating at the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Oklahoma. The solar systems are an environmentally sound and cost-effective way to heat water. By using renewable energy technologies to satisfy its mandate to provide services for visitors and protect the park system's natural resources, the National Park Service sets a good example for other Federal agencies and the general public.

The long-term well-being of the nation and maintenance of a sustainable leadership position in agriculture, forestry, and manufacturing, clearly depend on current and near-term support of multidisciplinary research for the development of a reliable renewable resource base. This document sets a roadmap and priorities for that research. America needs leadership that will continue to recognize, support, and move rapidly to meet the need to expand the use of sustainable renewable resources. This roadmap has highlighted potential ways for progress and has identified goals in specific components of the system. Achieving success with these goals will provide the opportunity to hit the vision target of a fivefold increase in renewable resource use by 2020.

The Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) is helping industry identify and pursue technology needs through public-private sector partnerships. Through its Industries of the Future strategy, OIT encourages energy-intensive industries to work together to create broad, industry-wide goals for the future, identify specific needs and priorities through industry-led roadmaps and form cooperative alliances to help attain those goals through technology partnerships. This brochure and six inserts serve as an introduction to potential partners as well as an update on the program opportunities for current partners.
