Today, at the Advanced Energy Conference in Albany, New
York, Acting ARPA-E Director Cheryl Martin announced up to $60 million for two
new programs to detect and measure methane emissions and develop innovative
localized thermal management systems that cut the energy needed to heat and
cool buildings. The Energy Department’s
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, encourages America’s top
scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs from different organizations,
scientific disciplines, and technology sectors to form new projects teams for
applications that leverage interdisciplinary and cross-organizational
collaboration.
