ARPA-E held a workshop on enabling technologies for improving fusion power plant performance and availability from March 7-8, 2023 in New Orleans, LA. Themes of the workshop included innovative heating schemes, advanced drivers and high performance targets and fueling, as well as accelerated discovery of novel fusion materials.
-
The goals of the workshop were to identify technical metrics required for synergistic deployment of HVAC and DAC, prioritize R&D needs, and estimate impact of R&D projects if successful. Participants had the opportunity to provide feedback on or suggest alternatives to the proposed topic areas and current performance metrics that ARPA-E is considering including in a potential Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).

The Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) within the U.S. Department of Energy hosted a workshop to convene technical experts and thought leaders to explore opportunities and challenges related to energy efficient carbon removal via advanced terrestrial ecosystems and bioeconomy supply chains. The workshop included technical and market focused presentations, panel discussions, and facilitated breakout groups, with the overarching goal of identifying disruptive R&D pathways related to low-energy, low-cost, and large-scale technologies and strategies for terrestrial carbon dioxide removal, management, and sequestration, or “carbon farming.”
-
ARPA-E is exploring a potential program to develop scalable and economic technologies for the measurement, reporting and verification of ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR). This workshop convened experts in ocean sensing, sensor platforms, modeling and carbon economics to identify innovative research paths for the development of disruptive technologies that will provide a quantitative basis for ocean CDR in carbon markets.
-
The virtual ARPA-E Reactive Carbon Capture Workshop was hosted by Program Directors Dr. Jack Lewnard and Dr. David Tew on Wednesday & Thursday, February 2 & 3, 2022. The workshop brought together thought leaders with backgrounds in fuel synthesis, carbon capture, and process engineering (among others) to identify opportunities and potentially transformational technology approaches for inexpensive conversion of diffuse or point-source CO2 to high-value chemical intermediates and/or fuel products.
-
The workshop convened leading experts in the field of datacenter thermal management with the objective to identify innovative research paths forward for the development of disruptive technologies that enable transformational high efficiency cooling methods for new and existing datacenters.
