Apr 28th
Apr 27, 2010
The House Science and Technology Committee should begin work this week on a multi-year reauthorization and increase in financial support for the 2007 America Competes Act. The original act provided for doubling funding for research and development programs at the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and for science, technology engineering and math education (STEM) programs. This reauthorization, HR 5116, also would give small to mid-size manufacturers access to federal technology loan guarantees and improve STEM program coordination. GridWise Alliance President Katherine Hamilton said, “This bill will help foster Smart Grid technologies that are More >

In the new energy race, China is not likely to blink an eye over the DOE’s new $400 million advanced research program for greentech.
After sitting through presentations from a “who’s who” of the energy world these past two days at the DOE’s inaugural ARPA-E Innovation Summit, any one of the more than 1,700 individuals in the room likely needed to call upon their deepest sense of equanimity or find the nearest cocktail bar.
On the one hand, it would be hard to rival, or argue against, the talent and commitment of the ARPA-E team, from Director Majumdar More >

Jan 6th
Published on January 5th, 2010
The first round of federal ARPA-E funding for future energy kick-started a stunning range of 37 different projects last year, from fuel-secreting bacteria to liquid batteries and a way to create solar energy by mimicking photosynthesis. Now the agency has launched a new round that narrows the target down to just three carefully defined areas.
RPA-E is the federal agency created by Congress in 2007 to propel the U.S. into a new energy future, whereupon the previous administration promptly allowed it to languish. That was then, this is now: breathing life into ARPA-E has been a top priority of the Obama administration. To introduce the new round More >
