DOE Funding Through ARPA-E

“ARPA-E is a bold concept that will provide access to the funding needed to bring the next generation of energy technologies to fruition. Specifically ARPA E aims to:Specifically ARPA-E aims to:

• Enhance our economic security by identifying technologies with the potential to reduce energy imports from foreign sources; p gy p g ;reduce energy-related greenhouse gas emissions; and improve efficiency across the energy spectrum.

E i t h l i l l d i d l i d• Ensure we remain a technological leader in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies.

ARPA-E will uniquely focus on high risk, high payoff concepts -q y g , g p y ptechnologies promising true energy transformations. The Department invests heavily in basic research and ARPA-E is not intended to augment these efforts ”

President Obama Announces Director of ARPA-E

“Washington, DC - On Friday, September 18, 2009, President Barack Obama announced his intent to nominate Arun Majumdar, Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy, Department of Energy

Arun Majumdar, Nominee for Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy, Department of Energy

Arun Majumdar is currently the Associate Laboratory Director for Energy and Environment at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. He has had a highly distinguished research career in the science and engineering of energy conversion, transport, and storage ranging from molecular and nanoscale level to large energy systems. For his pioneering work, he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2005. At Berkeley Labs and UC Berkeley, he helped shape several strategic initiatives in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy as well as energy storage, and testified before Congress on how to reduce energy consumption in buildings. He has served on the advisory committee of the National Science Foundation's engineering directorate, was a member of the advisory council to the materials sciences and engineering division of DOE's Basic Energy Sciences, and was an advisor on nanotechnology to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.”
