“Trying to Hit Home Runs, Not Base Hits”

Today in Washington, we’re hosting the first-ever ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit.  We’re bringing together some of our nation’s brightest minds in science, engineering, and business to focus on tackling the energy problem.  Through the ARPA-E program, we are funding cutting-edge technologies that could provide game-changing breakthroughs.  We’re trying to hit home runs, not base hits.

This video showcases one of the projects we funded in the first round of applications: Sun Catalytix.  Sun Catalytix is developing a unique technology that mimics photosynthesis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.  Check it out:
