Vertical axis wind turbines could find a new home in offshore wind farms, where density, reliability and ease of maintenance give them an edge over conventional wind turbines.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) recently announced the release of funding to several organizations working on electric aircraft, including General Electric, as part of its Connecting Aviation By Lighter Electric Systems (CABLES) program. “Future all-electric, twin-aisle aircraft will require more than 50 MWs of power … [continued]
The US House of Representatives has approved a spending bill that eliminates all money for advanced clean energy research but approves $1.6 billion to build a wall along the Mexican border.
While Congress plans to increase the budget of the program by $15 million for 2017, President Trump called for the elimination of ARPA-E in his proposed budget for 2018. Scientists and business leaders fear they will lose an essential source of research funding.
ARPA-E is banking that a $35 million investment in crop-based carbon sequestration will pay off with bonus points for healthier soil.
Meet the anti-turbine: new wind energy concept will use the physics of thunderstorms to harvest electrons from water droplets in offshore wind farms.
Over $1.25 billion in private follow-on funding has been received by ARPA-E projects for new energy technologies. If you would like to see the full list of companies, download this PDF file, which has about 8 pages of them. “Since the first awards in 2010, ARPA-E projects have demonstrated tangible technical and … [continued]
New EV tech will be front and center at the upcoming ARPA-E Summit, including a demonstration of an “instant” solar powered electric cargo bike fleet.
Originally published on EV Obsession. A new solid-state sodium battery development project being worked on by researchers at Iowa State University (amongst others) was recently awarded $3 million in new funding via ARPA-E’s 2015 OPEN funding initiative, according to recent reports. (ARPA-E stands for Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy.) The new … [continued]
