* The Coalbed Methane Outreach Program (CMOP) works to reduce methane released into the atmosphere as a result of coal mining by supporting recovery of naturally occurring coal mine gases and encouraging the production of [[coalbed methane]] energy, among other uses.

* The government also supports alternative energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels, including [[Wind power in the United States|wind power]], [[Solar power in the United States|solar power]], [[Geothermal power in the United States|geothermal power]], and [[Biofuel in the United States|biofuel]].

* These clean energy sources can often be integrated into the electric grid in what are known as [[distributed generation]] systems.

* EPA Clean Energy Programs - [[Green Power Partnership]]

* EPA Clean Energy Programs - [[Combined Heat and Power]] Partnership

* [[Carbon capture and storage]] Research Program

** Advanced Energy Systems Program

** CO₂ Capture
