In order to explain research plans for long term program of energy research centers, there is a need for documenting technology strategy of center to help decision makers to decide effectively. The first step in defining technology strategy and policy of an institution is identifying the technology disciplines related to the institution activities. Therefore, technology mapping is used as a tool to identify energy efficient technologies, systematically and comprehensively. The field of energy is broad and multidisciplinary, in addition it is one of the main divisions in Iran`s master plan for 1404 as first uphanded document so technology mapping is used as preferable method for technology identification. At the beginning via strategic analysis, missions and probable fields of activities were specified. After that, by studying different resources such as energy anagement reference books, report and roadmpas of international organizations and institutions, technology policy of developed countries, national upstream documents of energy field, technology plans of similar international research organizations, considering the expert ideas and utilizing technology management and thermodynamic principles, technology mapping of the fields of energy efficiency for fossil and clean energy was achieved in shape of technology tree. According to capital approach used in this project, the obtained technology tree can be used as a basis for decision making and innovating of managers and top experts in the field of energy in order to define research projects and utilizing appropriate technologies to resolve energy-environment challenges in Iran.
