Workshop Report: RD&D Portfolio Analysis Tools and Methodologies

Leon E. Clarke and Erin D. Baker

Abstract

On December 2-3, 2010, the Department of Energy’s Office of Policy and International Affairs sponsored a two-day workshop on energy RD&D portfolio analysis. The primary objectives of the two-day workshop were: (1) to improve coordination between disparate research communities on elements of energy technology portfolio analysis in academia, national laboratories, and other research institutions, as well as between developers and users of these techniques; and (2) to identify the current gaps in research and develop concrete strategies for filling those gaps in a way that could facilitate the applicability of energy technology portfolio analysis to real decisions.
