The purpose of this amendment is to request full applications to the Funding Opportunity Announcement(FOA) DE-FOA-0000290 with a deadline for submission of Monday, May 24, 2010 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Earlier submissions are encouraged.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is a new agency of the department of Energy. ARPA-E was authorized by the America COMPETES Act (PL 110-69) and charged with the mission to fund projects that will develop transformational technologies that reduce Americas dependence on foreign energy imports; reduce U.S. energy related emissions, including greenhouse gases; improve energy efficiency across all sectors of the U.S. economy; and ensure that the United States maintains its leadership in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. Initially funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (PL 111-5), ARPA-E aims to support the development of high risk/high payoff applied science and technology innovations that will have a positive disruptive impact on the energy landscape.
In this program, ARPA-E seeks to develop a new generation of low-cost energy storage technologies for the electricity grid. A key role of energy storage is to transform the grid from a system for delivering electric power where it is needed, to system that flexibility adapts to changes in where electric power is needed. The added dimension of time enables a radical increase in the use of electricity from intermittent renewable resources, such as wind and solar. The goals of this program are targeted to develop innovative energy storage technologies which have the cost and reliability of hydroelectric power, yet have the capacity for deployment in any location. The cost effective grid-scale energy storage technologies developed in this program will lower CO2 emissions from U.S. electricity generation, improve security through enhanced power reliability and establish U.S. leadership in advanced energy storage systems. ARPA-E's objective is to fund high-risk, high-reward re
search efforts to address emerging grid-scale energy storage needs.
