FOA-OPEN
2021: Transformational Projects in Energy (DE-FOA-0002459); April 6,
2021
Agency
Advanced
Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E).
Description
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. An OPEN solicitation provides a vitally
important mechanism for the support of innovative energy R&D that
complements ARPA-E’s primary mechanism, which is through the solicitation of
research projects in focused technology programs. 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. Open
solicitations enable ARPA-E to support transformational projects outside the
scope of existing ARPA-E focused programs.
The
projects selected under OPEN will pursue novel approaches to energy innovation
across the full spectrum of energy applications in seven categories (see FOA). A
broad variety of projects will be welcomed, and examples include electricity
generation by both renewable and non-renewable means; electricity transmission,
storage, and distribution; energy efficiency for buildings, manufacturing and
commerce, and personal use; and all aspects of transportation, including the
production and distribution of both renewable and non-renewable fuels,
electrification, and transportation energy efficiency.
