As we grapple with the urgent need for sustainable solutions to global climate challenges, the vast potential of our oceans offers promising pathways. This session will explore the critical role of maritime sustainable energy in achieving a sustainable future at scale. Dr. Freeman will shed light on ARPA-E’s significant investments in ocean farming, carbon capture measurement technologies at sea, and the broader vision for the 2050 blue economy.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy, known for its high-risk, high-reward funding model, has been at the forefront of driving impactful technology development since 2009. With a total of $3.68B in competitively awarded federal R&D funding, ARPA-E continues to fuel innovation at the nexus of environmental science, engineering, computing, and physics.
