- Description
- The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is a new agencyof theDepartment of Energy. ARPA-E was authorized by the America COMPETES Act (PL 110-69) and charged with the mission to fund projects that will developtransformational technologies that reduce Americas dependence on foreignenergyimports; reduce U.S. energy related emissions, including greenhouse gases;improve energy efficiency across all sectors of the U.S. economy; andensurethat the United States maintains its leadership in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. Initially funded through the AmericanRecoveryand Reinvestment Act (PL 111-5), ARPA-E aims to support the development ofhighrisk/high payoff applied science and technology innovations that will haveapositive disruptive impact on the energy landscape. In this program, ARPA-E seeks to develop a new generation of low-costenergystorage technologies for the electricity grid. A key role of energystorage isto transform the grid from a system for delivering electric power where itisneeded, to system that flexibility adapts to changes in where electricpower isneeded. The added dimension of time enables a radical increase in the useofelectricity from intermittent renewable resources, such as wind and solar.Thegoals of this program are targeted to develop innovative energy storagetechnologies which have the cost and reliability of hydroelectric power,yethave the capacity for deployment in any location. The cost effectivegrid-scale energy storage technologies developed in this program will lowerCO2emissions from U.S. electricity generation, improve security throughenhancedpower reliability and establish U.S. leadership in advanced energy storagesystems. ARPA-E's objective is to fund high-risk, high-reward researcheffortsto address emerging grid-scale energy storage needs.
