(snippet) Washington, D.C. - President Obama’s FY 2012 budget seeks $520.7 million for the Office of Fossil Energy (FE) to support improved energy security and rapid development of climate-oriented technology. The request includes $452.9 million for Fossil Energy Research and Development, $121.7 million for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, -$68.8 million for the Northeast Heating Oil Reserve and $14.9 million for the Naval Petroleum Reserves.

Fossil Energy Research and Development

The President’s FY 2012 budget requests $452.9 million for a fossil energy research and development portfolio focused on advancing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. This program is designed to ensure we can continue to use the nation’s abundant fossil resources through the development of clean energy technologies, with a specific focus on dramatic reductions of global carbon emissions at acceptable cost.

Advancing Toward a Low-Carbon Future

CCS Demonstrations. The CCS Demonstrations program, including the Clean Coal Power Initiative, FutureGen 2.0, and Industrial CCS Demonstrations, enables and accelerates the deployment of advanced carbon capture and storage technologies to ensure clean, reliable, and affordable electricity for the United States. The 2012 budget request does not provide any demonstration funds because these projects are already strongly supported through the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
