2 The ARPA-E Mission Ensure America s Overcome long-term and high-risk technological barriers in the development of energy technologies, by translating scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations. Accelerate advances in areas that industry is unlikely to support because of technical uncertainty. Economic Security Energy Security Technological Lead Reduce Emissions Improve Efficiency Reduce Imports 1

5 ARPA-E Project Portfolio by Lead Organization ARPA-E supports multi-institutional teams with substantial involvement from the private sector: 74% of projects involve more than one institution 79% of projects include the private sector, as leads or partners 4

6 FY 2016 Highlights THE SEVENTH ANNUAL ARPA-E SUMMIT This year s Summit is brought together more than 2,000 attendees from academic, business and government. Featured keynote speakers included Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Former Vice President, Al Gore, U.S. Energy Secretary, Ernest Moniz, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, and industry leaders as well as displays from more than 270 ARPA-E technologies STATISTICS 60 follow on projects with Government Partners At least 36 new companies formed 45 ARPA-E projects have attracted more than $1.25 billion in private sector follow on funding after ARPA-E s investment.

7 2016 Program Planning Building efficiency: Re-inventing the single-pane window using advanced materials for cost effective window coatings or new windows that provide thermal insulation. Biofuel plant root phenotyping for improved growth properties, providing a scalable approach to atmospheric carbon sequestration through plant roots to the soil Renewable electricity to zero-carbon liquid fuels for transportation and stationary energy storage New approaches to transportation energy efficiency through developing vehicle and powertrain control technologies with increasingly autonomous operation Strategic development of solid-ion conductors for to transform devices such as lithium metal batteries, flow batteries, and other electrochemical technologies. New technologies for energy efficient data centers to provide fundamentally more energy efficient manipulation and movement of data. Virtual transportation: opportunities to reduce transportation energy use through alternatives based on telecommunications, with benefits for energy imports, emissions and effective transportation efficiency.
