EIT facilitates the development of comprehensive baselines for needs assessments of federal energy innovation spending. This analysis presents one such example- comparing how detailed information on actual federal investments in energy innovation provided by EIT measures up to various expert recommendations, technology development road-maps, or federal research spending on other national innovation priorities and technological innovations (both past and present). This analysis was compiled using data from the BETA version of the EIT database, as of 12/7/2010.

The unprecedented level of detail with which EIT catalogs energy innovation projects allows for comprehensive and in-depth analyses of federal research efforts focused on particular technologies. Users can query the EIT database to elicit project details by technology, and download results into a spreadsheet to conduct their own analysis of these projects. This case study illustrates one such technology analysis, conducted using results from a query in EIT for federal innovation investments focused on nuclear energy. This case study was compiled using data from the BETA version of the EIT database, as of 12/7/2010.
