The committee's purpose is to continue to develop methodology for estimating the economic, environmental, and energy security benefits associated with DOE's Energy Efficiency and Fossil Energy R&D Programs and to apply its proposed methodology to several DOE programs. The committee's statement of task is provided in Attachment A and its members are listed in Attachment B

The methodology suggested by the phase one committee uses expert panels to review the DOE R&D program and estimate the expected economic, environmental, and energy security benefits of the program in three different global economic scenarios, with the results summarized in the matrix shown in Attachment C The expert panel evaluation process is facilitated by a decision analysis consultant, and the panels construct simple decision trees to describe the main technical and market uncertainties associated with the program and the impact of DOE support on the probability of various technical and market outcomes.
