,establishment  7#a7 ,in general ,the   
,secretary shall establish a program1 to
 be known as the ,integrated ,energy    
,systems ,program-- 7,a7 to maximize    

energy production and efficiency2  7,b7 
to develop energy systems involving the 
integration of nuclear energy with      
renewable energy1 fossil energy1 and    
energy storage2 and  7,c7 to expand the 
use of emissions-reducing energy        
technologies into nonelectric sectors to
 achieve significant reductions in      
environmental emissions4  7#b7 ,program

shall be carried out by the             
,undersecretary of ,energy1 in          
partnership with-- 7,a7 relevant offices
 within the ,department of ,energy2     
7,b7 ,national ,laboratories2  7,c7     
institutions of higher education2 and   
7,d7 the private sector4  7#c7 ,goals   
and milestones ,the ,secretary shall    
establish quantitative goals and        
milestones for the program4  7c7        
,research areas ,research areas under   
the program may include-- 7#a7          
technology innovation to further the    
expansion of emissions-reducing energy  
technologies to accommodate a modern1   

resilient grid system by-- 7,a7         
effectively leveraging multiple energy  
sources2  7,b7 enhancing and            
streamlining engineering design2  7,c7  
carrying out process demonstrations to  
optimize performance2 and  7,d7         
streamlining regulatory review2  7#b7   
advanced power cycles1 energy           
extraction1 and processing of complex   
hydrocarbons to produce high-value      
chemicals2  7#c7 efficient use of       
emissions-reducing energy technologies  
for hydrogen production to support      
transportation and industrial needs2    
7#d7 enhancement and acceleration of    
domestic manufacturing and              
desalinization technologies and         
processes by optimally using clean      
energy sources2  7#e7 more effective    
thermal energy use1 transport1 and      
storage2  7#f7 the demonstration of     
nuclear energy delivery for-- 7,a7 the  
production of chemicals1 metals1 and    
fuels2  7,b7 the capture1 use1 and      
storage of carbon2  7,c7 renewable      

integration with an integrated energy   
system2 and  7,d7 conversion of carbon  
feedstock1 such as coal1 biomass1       
natural gas1 and refuse waste1 to higher
 value nonelectric commodities2  7#g7   
the development of new analysis         
capabilities to identify the best ways--
 7,a7 to leverage multiple energy       
sources in a given region2 and  7,b7 to 
quantify the benefits of integrated     
energy systems2 and  7#h7 any other area
 that1 as determined by the ,secretary1 
meets the purpose and goals of the      
program4  7d7 ,grants ,the ,secretary   
may award grants under the program to   
support the goals of the program4  #c4  
,report on duplicative programs ,not    
later than #a year after the date of    
enactment of this ,act1 and annually    
thereafter1 the ,secretary shall submit 
to ,congress a report identifying any   
program that is duplicative of the      
program established under section
