ARPA-E’s creation and launching 2 2006 Rising Above the Gathering Storm (National Academies) 2007 America COMPETES Act President Obama launches ARPA-E at National Academies on April 27, 2009 Innovation based on science and engineering will be primary driver of our future prosperity & security 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ($400M Appropriated) 2011 FY2011 Budget ($180M Appropriated) 2012 FY2012 Budget ($275 Appropriated)

3. ARPA-E’s mission is to overcome the high-risk technological barriers facing energy technologies 3 (A)promoting revolutionary advances in fundamental sciences (B)translating scientific discoveries into technological innovations (C)accelerating transformational technological advances in areas that industry by itself is not likely to undertake (A)promoting revolutionary advances in fundamental sciences (B)translating scientific discoveries into technological innovations (C)accelerating transformational technological advances in areas that industry by itself is not likely to undertake Reduce Energy- Related Emissions Improve Energy Efficiency Reduce Energy Imports

4. ARPA-E seeks to identify and support technologies that will be both transformational and disruptive New energy technologies matter only to the extent that they are: –Both transformational and disruptive –Adopted and deployed by private industry –Meaningful way to consumers –Able to hit a key price tipping point New energy technologies matter only to the extent that they are: –Both transformational and disruptive –Adopted and deployed by private industry –Meaningful way to consumers –Able to hit a key price tipping point Benz Motorwagen (1885) Ford Model T (1914) Steam-powered Cugnot (1769) 4
