DOE Opens $100M Search for ‘Transformative’ Energy Projects
ARPA-E announces OPEN funding opportunity to support early-stage energy research and development
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $100 million in funding for new projects as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA‑E) latest OPEN funding opportunity. OPEN will support America’s top innovators through dozens of early-stage research and development projects as they build technologies to transform the nation’s energy system.
“The Department of Energy plays a critical role in keeping the U.S. safe and secure, said U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry. One of the ways we do this is by promoting energy innovations that make us more competitive and keep us ahead of the technology curve. With OPEN 2018, we are asking American energy entrepreneurs and researchers to show us the next breakthrough in energy security.”
