The US Department of Energy announced this week that President Bush's Fiscal Year 2008 Budget requests $24.3 billion for the DoE, including $1.24 billion for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The EERE budget request is $73 million more than the FY 2006 appropriations

In addition, the request for DoE's Office of Science includes $75 million to establish three Bioenergy Research Centers that will accelerate basic research in cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels.

The President's budget is meant to serve as a starting point for Congressional budget negotiations.
