The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Science, Technology and Policy (STP) Program serves as a next step in the educational and professional development of scientists and engineers by providing opportunities to participate in policy-related projects at DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Washington, D.C. Participants will become part of a group of highly trained scientists and engineers with the education, background, and experience to be part of the workforce that supports the DOE's mission in the future.
Each year in the U.S., vehicles transport 18 billion tons of freight – about $55 billion worth of goods each day – and move people more than 3 trillion vehicle-miles. The transportation sector has historically relied heavily on petroleum, which supports over 90 percent of the sector’s energy needs today and, as a result, has surpassed electricity generation to become the largest source of CO2 emissions in the country. Transportation sector decarbonization is therefore critical to achieving the goal of economy-wide decarbonization by 2050.The U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) funds research, development, and deployment of low cost, secure, and clean vehicles to move people and goods across America.

With their immense potential for increasing the country's energy security, economic vitality, and quality of life, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) – including plug-in hybrid electric and all-electric vehicles – will play a key role in the country's transportation future. VTO supports a diverse portfolio to lower the cost and increase the convenience of Plug-In Electric Vehicles. VTO is collaborating with National Laboratories and industry to improve electric drive systems and enable vehicle-grid integration.
