ARPA-E is developing a potential program that seeks to accelerate the design and development cycle for heterogeneous catalyst R&D workflows all the way from rational material discovery, through synthesis, and to final reactor/unit/device application. These novel workflows will be achieved by integrating and exploiting the modern software approaches emerging from data science and modeling (e.g. AI/ML, ab initio, multi-scale kinetic) along with high throughput experimental methods (e.g. parallel testing, self-driving, combinatorial) within a closed loop, automated feedback scheme.

ARPA-E Program Director Dr. Bob Ledoux and ARPA-E Fellow Dr. Ben Weiner gathered experts and investors from across academia, Department of Energy national laboratories, and the burgeoning quantum industry to discuss applications of quantum computers to energy-relevant problems in computational chemistry and materials science.
The workshop’s goals were to engage key stakeholders to accelerate the introduction and deployment of grid-related technologies developed at ARPA-E, to better understand the industry needs and potential technology gaps for grid decarbonization and modernization, and to provide an opportunity for ARPA-E project teams to directly engage with utility companies regarding their current commercialization efforts.
