House Science, Space, and Technology Committee
Energy Subcommittee
Climate and Energy Science Research at the Department of Energy
This hearing is one of a series on research and development activities sponsored by the DOE’s Office of Science. This office was funded at over seven billion dollars in FY21, and accounts for over half of DOE’s non-defense R&D budget. The energy sciences and climate research programs were each funded at over two billion dollars and three quarters of a billion dollars in FY21, respectively. Today we will just be focusing on these two programs, though there are others that we will examine in the months ahead.
