2. ARPA-E’s History 2007 Rising Above the Gathering Storm Published America COMPETES Act Signed 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Signed 201120122013 2014 2010 1 37 7 12 16 20 23 450+ Programs To Date Awards Announced In 2007, The National Academies recommended Congress establish an Advanced Research Projects Agency within the U.S. Department of Energy* 2 …“The new agency proposed herein [ARPA-E] is patterned after that model [of DARPA] and would sponsor creative, out-of-the-box, transformational, generic energy research in those areas where industry by itself cannot or will not undertake such sponsorship, where risks and potential payoffs are high, and where success could provide dramatic benefits for the nation.”… 2015 Anticipated 30 America COMPETES Reauthorization Signed $400 Million (Recovery Act) $180 Million (FY2011) $275 Million (FY2012) $251 Million (FY2013) $280 Million (FY2014) $280 Million (FY2015) * Handouts, Miscellaneous Reports, Gathering Storm

ARPA-E Authorizing Legislation* Goals: Ensure America’s ▸ Economic Security ▸ Energy Security ▸ Technological Lead in Advanced Energy Technologies Mission: To overcome long-term and high-risk technological barriers in the development of energy technologies Reduce Emissions Improve Energy Efficiency Reduce Energy Imports Means: ▸ Identify and promote revolutionary advances in fundamental and applied sciences ▸ Translate scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations ▸ Accelerate transformational technological advances in areas that industry by itself is not likely to undertake because of technical and financial uncertainty 3 * Handouts, General Information, ARPA-E Statutory Authority

4. ARPA-E Program Framing Questions 4 What is the problem to be solved? What is the current state of R&D? How is the proposed program a transformative and disruptive approach? What are the program goals and how will progress towards those goals be measured? What research communities need to be brought together? How does the program complement R&D efforts in other DOE programs, federal agencies, and the private sector? Why is now the right time to solve this problem? What happens at the conclusion of the program? What are the barriers to commercialization and how might these problems be overcome? If successful, how will the proposed program impact one or more of ARPA-E’s mission areas? Adapted from the DARPA Heilmeier questions

Tech to Market Approach ‣ Manage: the Commercialization progress of project technologies ‣ Advise: support project teams with skills and knowledge to align technology with market needs ‣ Finance: engage third party financiers to support continuity of technology development towards the market 13

14. Measurable Metrics of Path Toward Market Since 2009 ARPA-E has invested approximately $1.1 billion across more than 400 projects through 23 focused programs and two open funding solicitations. 34 ARPA-E projects have attracted more than $850 million in private-sector follow- on funding 14 Cumulative numbers of project that have: Cumulative Number EndEndEnd 201220132014
