In the technology programme, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technologies (BMWi) has re-organized its funding measures in the field of non-nuclear energy research and is providing funding for this area of research. These measures are primarily designed to produce short- and medium-term results. These are to be achieved by focusing on applied research and development and carrying out demonstration projects.

The programme includes the following priorities: power plant technologies (COORETEC), combined heat and power generation and district heating, fuel cells and hydrogen technology, efficient use and storage of electrical energy, energy-optimized building construction as well as energy-efficiency in industry, business, trade and services. The programme is supplemented by measures for the support of research on nuclear safety and final disposal sites.
