Description	The Industrial Technologies Program employs ?Industry of the Future? partnerships to increase the efficiency of industrial energy use, both now and in the future. Emphasis is on technologies and practices that can boost the productivity and profits of the most energy-intensive industries. The Program partners with industry through a competitive solicitation process, providing financial assistance to selected research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects that can accelerate the pace of technology innovation. These partnerships bring the expertise of private companies, national laboratories, and universities to bear on solving technological challenges. Partners typically provide 50 percent of total project costs over the life of a project. A particular focus of the Program is cross-cutting technologies?in such critical areas as combustion, sensors and controls, advanced materials, and industrial energy systems. In addition, the Program co-sponsors Technology Showcases that highlight the benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and practices. Showcases may include plant tours featuring advanced technology demonstrations, results of plant-wide energy assessments, and presentations on emerging technologies and practices.
