§ 13389.
Greenhouse gas intensity reducing strategies
The term “Advisory Committee” means the Climate Change Technology Advisory Committee established under subsection (f)(1).
The term “Committee” means the Committee on Climate Change Technology established under subsection (b)(1).
The term “developing country” has the meaning given the term in section 13387(m) of this title.
(5) Greenhouse gasThe term “greenhouse gas” means—
The term “National Laboratory” has the meaning given the term in section 15801(3) [1] of this title.
(1) In generalNot later than 180 days after August 8, 2005, the President shall establish a Committee on Climate Change Technology to—
integrate current Federal climate reports; and
coordinate Federal climate change technology activities and programs carried out in furtherance of the strategy developed under subsection (c)(1).
(2) MembershipThe Committee shall be composed of at least 7 members, including—
the Secretary, who shall chair the Committee;
the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality;
other representatives as may be determined by the President.
(2) UpdatesThe Committee shall—
at the time of submission of the strategy to the President under paragraph (1), also make the strategy available to the public; and
update the strategy every 5 years, or more frequently as the Committee determines to be necessary.
(d) Climate Change Technology ProgramNot later than 180 days after the date on which the Committee is established under subsection (b)(1), the Secretary, in consultation with the Committee, shall establish within the Department of Energy the Climate Change Technology Program to—
assist the Committee in the interagency coordination of climate change technology research, development, demonstration, and deployment to reduce greenhouse gas intensity; and
carry out the programs authorized under this section.
(4) Updated inventoryThe Secretary shall—
periodically update the inventory under paragraph (1), including when determined necessary by the Committee; and
make the updated inventory available to the public.
(2) CompositionThe Advisory Committee shall be composed of the following members, to be appointed by the Secretary, in consultation with the Committee:
1 representative shall be appointed from each National Laboratory.
3 members shall be representatives of energy-producing trade organizations.
3 members shall represent energy-intensive trade organizations.
3 members shall represent groups that represent end-use energy and other consumers.
3 members shall be employees of the Federal Government who are experts in energy technology, intellectual property, and tax.
3 members shall be representatives of institutions of higher education with expertise in energy technology development that are recommended by the National Academy of Engineering.
(3) ReportNot later than 1 year after August 8, 2005, and annually thereafter, the Advisory Committee shall submit to the Committee a report that describes—
the findings of the Advisory Committee; and
any recommendations of the Advisory Committee for the removal or reduction of barriers to commercialization, deployment, and increasing the use of greenhouse gas intensity reducing technologies and practices.
(2) RequirementsIn developing the recommendations under paragraph (1), the Committee shall consider in the aggregate—
the cost-effectiveness of the technology;
fiscal and regulatory barriers;
statutory and other barriers; and
(4) ReportNot later than 18 months after August 8, 2005, the Committee shall submit to the President and Congress a report that—
identifies, based on the report submitted under subsection (f)(3), any barriers to, and commercial risks associated with, the deployment of greenhouse gas intensity reducing technologies; and
includes a plan for carrying out demonstration projects.
(5) UpdatesThe Committee shall—
at the time of submission of the report to Congress under paragraph (4), also make the report available to the public; and
update the report every 5 years, or more frequently as the Committee determines to be necessary.
(1) In generalThe Secretary shall, subject to the availability of appropriations, support demonstration projects that—
increase the reduction of the greenhouse gas intensity to levels below that which would be achieved by technologies being used in the United States as of August 8, 2005;
maximize the potential return on Federal investment;
demonstrate distinct roles in public-private partnerships;
produce a large-scale reduction of greenhouse gas intensity if commercialization occurred; and
support a diversified portfolio to mitigate the uncertainty associated with a single technology.
In carrying out greenhouse gas intensity reduction research and technology deployment activities under this subtitle,[2] the Secretary may enter into cooperative research and development agreements under section 3710a of title 15.

Section 15801(3) of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(7), was in the original “section 3(3) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005” and was translated as meaning section 2(3) of that Act to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because the Energy Policy Act of 2005 does not contain a section 3 and section 2(3) defines “National Laboratory”.
