Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) (Short term, high risk - high reward research projects) Energy research and development * What America’s innovation could produce: Affordable electric vehicle batteries with 500-mile range. Transformative approaches to lowering the cost of bio-fuels. Abundant, domestic fuel produced directly from the sun. Solar PV energy at 1/4th the fully installed cost. Dramatically reduce carbon capture and storage (CCS) costs  Design by computer simulation that will eliminate costly development cycles. * AFFORDABLE LONG-RANGE BATTERIES FOR CARS Electric Vehicles with a 500 mile range 3-5X Lower Cost than Today’s Lithium Ion Battery * This first-of-its-kind electric vehicle battery will be inherently safe AND financially realistic. Metal-Air-Ionic Liquid (MAIL) Battery Metal + Oxygen = Metal-Oxide + Energy Combines the best features of other battery technologies High energy density of liquid fuel Long life-cycle of lithium batteries Low cost using abundant materials Energy Innovation Hubs(Multi-disciplinary, highly collaborative teams working under one roof; “Bell Lab-lets”) Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) (Short term, high risk - high reward research projects) Energy research and development This would be a new way of generating energy from the sun – at least for humans. Plants do it every day. ?? We are essentially hoping to mimic the process of photosynthesis, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy. Is it possible to engineer an artificial photo-synthetic system? * If successful, this Energy Innovation Hub would set the stage for a direct solar fuels industry. Energy Innovation Hub: Fuels from Sunlight Producing fuels from sunlight could be a game-changer – reducing our dependence on foreign oil and enhancing energy security. The Fuels from Sunlight Hub aims to develop and demonstrate a manufacturable solar-fuels generator that will produce fuel f
