BES FY 2010 Budget Highlights The FY 2010 BES Budget Request supports President Obama’s goals for a clean energy economy, investments in science and technology—including exploratory and high-risk research, and training the next generation of scientists and engineers. Research: § Two Energy Innovation Hubs are initiated in FY 2010 in the topical areas of Fuels from Sunlight, and Batteries and Energy Storage. Each hub will assemble a multidisciplinary team to address the basic science, technology, economic, and policy issues needed to achieve a secure and sustainable energy future. § Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) initiated in FY 2009 continue in FY 2010. EFRCs integrate the talents and expertise of leading scientists across multiple disciplines to conduct fundamental research to establish the scientific foundation for breakthrough energy technologies. § Core research—primarily supporting single principal investigator and small group projects—will be continued and expanded to initiate promising new activities that respond to the five grand challenges identified in the BESAC Grand Challenges report: quantum control of electrons in atoms, molecules, and materials; basic architecture of matter, directed assemblies, structure, and properties; emergence of collective phenomena; energy and information on the nanoscale; and matter far beyond equilibrium. Facilities: § The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the world’s first hard xray coherent light source, begins operations in FY 2010. The LCLS provides laser-like x-ray radiation that is 10 billion times more intense than any existing coherent x-ray light source and will open new realms of exploration in the chemical, material, and biological sciences. § The National Synchrotron Light Source II at Brookhaven National Laboratory will continue its construction phase, including the largest component of the project—the building that will house the accelerator ring. § Scientific User Facility Operations are fully funded in FY 2010. The BES user facilities are visited by more than 10, 000 scientists and engineers from academia, national laboratories, and industry annually and provide unique capabilities to the scientific community that are critical to maintaining U. S. leadership in the physical

FY 2010 House E&WD Appropriations On Research and Development Initiatives… “The Hubs have the potential to be an innovative concept to fill research gaps in advancing transformative energy science and technology. However, the Committee has a number of concerns. First, the Hubs appear to be redundant with existing Department research topics and initiatives. The EFRCs, Bioenergy Research Centers, ARPA-E, and the proposed Hubs aim to produce transformative energy technologies by focusing on “high-risk, high-reward” research. These different initiatives take similar approaches, while varying in size, implementation details, and emphasis on basic or applied research. … Second, the Department has not communicated sufficient planning and implementation details for the proposed Hubs. The individual program offices responsible for the proposed Hubs have not articulated consistent approaches and plans for site selection, staffing, and progress measurement. Program offices have not been consistent on even the most basic questions, such as whether or not each Hub will have its own physical location or will be a virtual collection of researchers. … The Committee believes that the Hubs are a promising concept, and provides $35, 000 for one Energy Innovation Hub under the Office of Basic Energy Sciences’ program. The Committee gives discretion for the appropriation to the Secretary of Energy to select one of the eight proposed Energy Innovation Hubs. …” - House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill 2010 13

New BESAC Charge 30
New BESAC Charge To conduct a follow-on study to those of the past seven years that links basic research with more applied problems in energy technologies. This study should tie together the ten BES reports on Basic Research Needs for energy technologies. This new study should be regarded as the companion study to the grand challenges report, but with a focus on the basic science drivers that will be essential to the more applied issues of energy science. Three main parts of the study: 1. Summarize the science themes that emerged from the BESAC reports Basic Research Needs for a Secure Energy Future and the follow-on BES Basic Research Needs topical reports with an emphasis on the needs of more applied energy technologies. Identify grand challenges science drivers that are likely to have an impact in the energy arena in the near term. 2. Identify how the suite of BES-supported and –managed scientific user facilities can impact basic and applied research for energy. 3. Identify other major impediments to successful achievement and implementation of transformative energy technologies, including potential deficits in human capital and workforce development and possible Two reports- A short report along the lines of the New Era for a Secure and solutions to these problems. Sustainable Energy Future and the second would be a more detailed technical report to provide detailed justification. 31
