Innovation is key to economic growth. Each year, the Colorado Innovation Network issues a report on Colorado's innovation performance, which is based on an objective analysis. The 2013 report highlights where potential opportunities exist to ensure Colorado's continued competitiveness as an innovative state. These metrics are used to compare Colorado's performance to both the national average and a set of benchmark states., "The 2013 Colorado Innovation Report is a project of the Colorado Innovation Network (COIN).", Includes bibliographical references (p.

Throughout Colorado, youth are spending more time seated in front of televisions, computers, and video games and less time enjoying the outdoors. This threatens children's education physical, and mental health, and hinders tomorrow's leaders' ability to understand and protect Colorado's resources., "January 2010.", Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed April 2013), Includes bibliographical references (p. 23-25)
This Roadmap is meant to guide the development of a range of high impact policies and programs to drive forward electric vehicle adoption across the state. It has three primary components: 1) a literature review and stakeholder engagement process that highlighted best practices and provided additional context into existing marker barriers; 2) a modeling exercise that explored the significant benefits to the State of adopting a set of "core policies" that set standards and provided additional supportive strategies for light-duty electrification; and 3) a detailed policy analysis that outlines key policy opportunities for the State to consider. This report contains modeling results to determine the potential costs and benefits created from the increased levels of light-duty (LD) vehicle electrification resulting from policy implementation within Colorado., "April 2022.", Includes bibliographical references., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed January 2023), Project No.: 0606101
The Colorado hydropower industry experienced rapid change in 2011. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) created in 2010 between the State of Colorado and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) forged a new path to expedite low-impact project permitting. As a result, projects that historically took three or more years for permitting were moving through the process at a record pace, in some cases taking less than six months. The Colorado Governor's Energy Office (GEO) recognizes the potential of low-impact hydropower resources in the state and the cost benefits of reducing the permitting burden. Streamlining the permitting process for low-impact projects creates new opportunities for the industry to utilize existing water infrastructure resources and maximize the benefit of Colorado's natural resources., "Primary Authors: Susan Carollo (SRA International) and Ryan Broshar (SRA International).

The State of Colorado has identified the use of cleaner transportation fuels as a priority to promote energy security, environmental stewardship, job creation, and low consumer costs. As part of that effort, the State has specifically identified natural gas as a viable, low-cost alternative to gasoline and diesel. The nation's energy future is improved with the use of natural gas because it is more affordable, better for the environment, and reduces dependence on foreign oil. The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is seeking to develop an NGV implementation plan for the State. This study provides information that will assist CEO with cultivating that plan., for the Colorado Energy Office, prepared by Antares Group, Inc., "Submitted: June 10, 2013.", "June 5, 2013."-- Footer., Includes bibliographical references (pages 48-52), Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed June 2022)

The abuse of prescription drugs is the fastest growing drug problem in the United States, particularly among adolescents. Colorado ranks second worst among all states for prescription drug misuse. More than 255,000 Coloradans misuse prescription drugs, and deaths involving the use of opioids nearly quadrupled between 2000 and 2011., "September 2013.", Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed June 2014)
The purposed of this project is to conduct a thorough analysis of the state's short and long term needs for prison capacity. The study will address the amount of capacity required, the type of beds needed, and operational efficiency. The end result will be a plan that identifies the optimal use of the state's prison resources to meet projected population demands., Karl Becker, Ken McGinnis, James Austin, Mary "Kate" Fisher., "June 2013.", Includes bibliographical references pages 157-160., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed March 2017), IRM-2013-U-005096/Final

The long-term vacancy of the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) Centennial Correctional Facility South (CCF South) represents a significant waste of a resource that could potentially hold great value for the State of Colorado (state). The 948-bed facility was partially opened in 2010 but was subsequently closed in 2012. Changes in state policy on the use of administrative segregation (its original intended function) and the absence of outdoor recreation yards have severely limited the potential utility of the facility. Efforts to lease or sell the facility to another jurisdiction have also proven fruitless. CGLs analysis indicates that a multi-faceted, coordinated repurposing of three DOC facilities offers the best strategy to make effective use of CCF South., prepared by CGL., "February 9, 2016.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed April 2016)
Recycled energy or waste heat to power (WHP) is the process of capturing heat discarded by an existing process and using that heat to generate electricity. Colorado's Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) requires systems to have a nameplate capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) or less, convert the otherwise lost energy from the heat from exhaust stacks or pipes to electricity and not combust additional fossil fuel to be eligible., prepared by: Jessica Rackley, Anne Hampson, Michael Fucci., "August 2015.", Includes bibliographical references., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed June 2022).

Recycled energy, also known as waste heat to power (WHP), is the process of capturing heat discarded by an existing process and using that heat to generate electricity. In Colorado, the term recycled energy is more commonly used and qualifies under the states Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) as an eligible resource. Under the Colorado RES, recycled energy systems must have a nameplate capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) or less, convert the otherwise lost energy from the heat from exhaust stacks or pipes to electricity and not combust additional fossil fuel to be eligible. In addition, recycled energy does not include energy produced by systems that use waste heat from a process whose main purpose is the generation of electricity. In the industrial sector, most recycled energy streams are generated by kilns, furnaces, ovens, turbines engines, and other equipment. Waste streams suitable for recycled energy can also be generated at field locations including landfills, compressor stations, and mining sites., [prepared by Jessica Rackley, Anne Hampson, Michael Fucci], Includes bibliographical references.
