Worldwide demand• Population, and per capita GDP

growth is driving worldwide demand for energy faster than discovery and development of fossil fuels

• Nearly 100% of energy consumed in the US transportation sector is from petroleum, more than 60% of which is imported

• Limited penetration of renewables on the grid due to difficulty in dispatching intermittent resources like wind and solar

VISION

Electrical Energy Storage

• Foster the development of alternative, sustainable, clean energy technologies

• Integrated systems that are cost effective, scalable, and safe

• Accelerated electrification of the transportation sector

• 30% of electric power from renewable sources by 2020

“We’re looking at the connection between where electricity is made and where electricity connects to your house. That is the largest supply chain in the world with absolutely no warehousing capacity.”

-Mark Johnson, DOE ARPA-E program

SUCCESS
