Energy works in concert with partners on all levels of government and in the private sector to advance its core mission: ensuring a reliable, affordable, and clean energy supply, safeguarding our nation's security, and providing cutting-edge leadership in science & technology. These are some of the joint initiatives we're currently working on:

• Partnerships for Home Energy Efficiency – EnergySavers.gov
  Partnerships for Home Energy Efficiency is a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to improve energy efficiency in American homes, by building awareness, delivering savings to those in low income and subsidized housing, and investing in innovative research in building science technologies, practices, and policies. 
  
  
• ENERGY STAR
  The ENERGY STAR label is the government's seal of energy efficiency, and can be found on everything from home appliances, to electronics, to windows. Consumers have purchased more than 1.5 billion products with the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR is a joint initiative of the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
  
  
• FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership
  The FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership is an industry-government research initiative focused on developing emissions- and petroleum-free cars and light trucks.
  
  
• 21^st Century Truck Partnership
  The vision of the 21st Century Truck Partnership is that our nation's trucks and buses will safely and cost-effectively move larger volumes of freight and greater numbers of passengers while emitting little or no pollution and dramatically reducing the dependency on foreign oil.
  
  
• Climate VISION
  Climate VISION—Voluntary Innovative Sector Initiatives: Opportunities Now—is a Presidential public-private partnership initiative launched by the Department of Energy on February 12, 2003, to contribute to the President's goal of reducing greenhouse gas intensity. Other agencies participating in Climate VISION include the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation, Department of Agriculture, and Department of the Interior.
  
  
• Science.gov
  Science.gov is a gateway to authoritative selected science information provided by U.S. Government agencies, including research and development results.
  
  
• Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum
  The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum is an international climate change initiative that is focused on development of improved cost-effective technologies for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide for its transport and long-term safe storage. The CSLF includes 21 member nations, with the Department as the lead U.S. representative.
  
  
• Clean Energy Initiative
  The Clean Energy Initiative seeks to provide millions of people in the developing world with access to affordable, reliable, clean, healthy, and efficient energy services.
  
  
• Biomass Research & Development Initiative (exit Energy)
  The Biomass Initiative is a joint initiative of the Department of Energy and the Department of Agrigulture to coordinate and accelerate all Federal biobased products and bioenergy research and development.
