Our Programs

EIRP advocates for public policies and private initiatives to promote research and development of advanced energy. We focus on strategic technologies that can compete in global energy markets without long-term government subsidies. 

Advanced Nuclear

The United States created the market for nuclear energy. We can redefine it with a renewed commitment to innovation and market principles. We can extend the life of America’s existing nuclear fleet while transitioning to safer, more affordable nuclear power plants.

Managing Carbon

With carbon capture, utilization and storage, fossil fuels can remain a part of our energy mix while we simultaneously achieve our environmental goals. Clean energy from abundant domestic supplies may be essential to our economic growth.

Renewable Energy

Renewables are a vital source of clean energy, yet will only succeed if they are commercially and fiscally sustainable. Refocusing public policy on accelerating innovation rather than subsidizing deployment of today’s technologies will allow renewables to add more value to America’s energy system.

Our Analysis

EIRP’s analysis rests upon world-class economic modeling and academic research conducted at leading universities and research institutes. This informs practical and result-oriented policy recommendations that aim to cut through partisan disputes to address America’s current and future energy needs.
