DESCRIPTION:The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) invests 
 in innovative ideas to create the future energy technologies in the U.S.\n
 \nThe energy transition towards net-zero by 2050 demands an unprecedented 
 level of innovation that must be completed in the span of a generation. Gl
 obal primary energy usage has increased continuously for the past century.
  This increase is expected to continue with improved standards of living a
 nd the rapid expansion of new technologies with high levels of energy-inte
 nsive computation\, such as artificial intelligence.\n\nPresent grid capac
 ity is constrained and cannot accommodate these increasing primary energy 
 needs to reliably deliver power on demand. Meanwhile\, all paths through t
 he energy transition require concurrent efforts to decouple the production
  of essential carbon-based materials from harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emi
 ssions.\n\nSince the Agency’s inception\, the ARPA-E OPEN program has se
 rved as an opportunity to advance transformative energy breakthroughs in c
 ritical areas that fall outside the scope of its technology-focused progra
 ms. Vision OPEN challenges the research community to develop groundbreakin
 g technologies to enable a future energy landscape that is dramatically di
 fferent.\n\nThe Vision includes three goals that are critical to achieve a
  sustainable energy and carbon transition with:\n\n	GHG-free abundant prim
 ary energy\n	An intermodal energy superhighway that transports diversified
  forms of primary energy\n	A carbon transition that sustainably meets dema
 nd for polymers and other materials.\n\n\nAmount/duration :\n\n\n	ARPA-E e
 xpects to make approximately $150 million available for new awards\, subje
 ct to the availability of appropriated funds. ARPA-E anticipates making 30
 -50 awards under this FOA. ARPA-E may\, at its discretion\, issue one\, mu
 ltiple\, or no awards.\n	Individual awards may vary between $250\,000 and 
 $10 million in Federal share.\n	A cost share of 20% is requested.\n	The pe
 riod of performance for funding agreements may not exceed 36 months.\n\n\n
 Deadline :\n\n\n	Deadline for Concept Papers (4 pages): July 16\, 2024.\n	
 Full Application Submission: Deadline is not known yet.\n\n\nEligibility /
  Restrictions : \n\n\n	EPFL researchers are eligible to apply as subawarde
 e. This is an opportunity to foster new or existing collaborations with pa
 rtners in the U.S.\n\n\nHow to Apply :\n\n\n	Funder Website: https://arpa-
