The committee's nine recommendations address the focus of the Vision 21 Program; linkages to neighboring programs in DOE's Office of Fossil Energy program but outside the Vision 21 Program; management structure; budget; inhouse engineering modeling; linkages to demonstrations; linkages to the basic research community and programs abroad; and program evaluation. PROGRAM FOCUS The Vision 21 Program was originally conceived as, and to a large extent remains, a very broad and inclusive program.

carbon sequestration program, and Vision 21 is the logical home for the separation and capture dimensions of this research, given its long time horizon and globally significant consequences. Finally, as elaborated in the next section of this report, the committee emphasizes that a more sharply focused Vision 21 Program requires strong complementary programs outside Vision 21, several of which have long histories and considerable momentum.

; and the storage or sequestration of CO2 after it leaves the plant gate. If the committee's recommendation of a sharpened focus for the Vision 21 Program is accepted, further areas will be understood to lie outside the Vision 21 boundary, including advanced technology for distributed power and for natural gas turbines or advanced combustion and advanced steam conditions for utility power plants.

and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) should estimate the budget required to support the current Vision 21 Program goals and should reconcile these estimates with various funding scenarios.

By continually refining its process flowsheets and iterating with Vision 21 project teams, the systems analysis group should identify key technical bottlenecks and integration issues. It should draw on its in-house technical expertise and modeling capabilities to provide assistance, advice, and R&D guidance to the DOE program leadership and Vision 21 project teams.

Equally important, Vision 21 must be a force for the inclusion of strong research programs within the federal demonstration programs, in order to accelerate the commercial application of Vision 21 technologies. LINKAGES TO BASIC RESEARCH AND INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES In its 2000 report, the committee recommended that "the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Energy and its National Energy Technology Laboratory should enable future reviews of the Vision 21 Program that examine in considerably more detail the technical content of each project.

STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT OF THE VISION 21 PROGRAM 23 In such reviews, mechanisms should be put in place to protect intellectual property through the filing of patents and through a limited number of nondisclosure agreements, but the exchange of required information should not be otherwise restricted in a way that might protect inappropriate or poorly conceived approaches from scrutiny.
