This testimony discusses the successes DOE has reported, some weaknesses GAO identified, and lessons learned in cost-sharing. GAO found that DOE has many examples of successes in the program, including commercialization of some technologies--the primary way DOE measures success. From a management perspective, many projects had experienced delays, cost overruns, bankruptcies, and performance problems. This program serves as an example to other cost-share programs in demonstrating how the government and the private sector can work effectively together to develop and demonstrate new technologies. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-854T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-854T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-854T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-854T.pdf GAO-01-854T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-854T Testimony GAO-01-854T; Fossil Fuel R&D: Lessons Learned in the Clean Coal Technology Program; Coal Cost sharing (finance) Electric energy Energy research Fossil fuels Interagency relations Research and development Research programs DOE Clean Coal Technology Program
