ARPA-E Overview Presentation http: //www. arpa-e. energy. gov/
What is ARPA-E? The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is an agency within the U. S. Department of Energy that: ‣ Provides Research and Development funding for high-risk, high-reward, transformational ideas ‣ Focuses on technologies that could fundamentally change the way we get, use and store energy ‣ Accelerates energy innovations that will create a more secure, affordable, and sustainable American energy future 1
History of ARPA-E In 2007, The National Academies recommended Congress establish an Advanced Research Projects Agency within the U. S. Department of Energy to fund advanced energy R&D. American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Signed – Providing ARPA-E its first appropriations of $400 million, which funded ARPA-E's first projects 2007 Rising Above the Gathering Storm Published - warning policymakers that U. S. advantages in science and technology had begun to erode America COMPETES Act Signed – authorizing the creation of ARPA-E 2009 2018 660+ Awards 47 Programs Current Funding: $353 M (FY 18) 2
What Problems are We Trying to Solve? Resilient energy infrastructure for the 21 st century Affordable, sustainable energy for all U. S. economic development American leadership in science and technology 3
ARPA-E Mission: To overcome long term and high-risk technological barriers in the development of energy technologies Ensure U. S. Technological Lead & U. S. Economic and Energy Security REDUCE IMPORTS IMPROVE EFFICIENCY REDUCE EMISSIONS 4
Built on DARPA foundation, but with key differences… 5
Creating New Learning Curves 6
What Makes an ARPA-E Project? IMPACT ‣ ‣ ‣ High impact on ARPA-E mission areas Credible path to market Large commercial application TRANSFORM ‣ ‣ ‣ Challenges what is possible Disrupts existing learning curves Leaps beyond today’s technologies Translates science into breakthrough technology BRIDGE ‣ ‣ ‣ TEAM ‣ ‣ ‣ Comprised of best-in-class people Cross-disciplinary skill sets Translation oriented Not researched or funded elsewhere Catalyzes new interest and investment 7
