ARPA-E announces $12M for five projects in nuclear materials science; first OPEN+ cohort

Green Car Congress

The agency decided to create the OPEN+ cohorts—drawing from the large and impressive OPEN 2018 applicant pool—to focus on particular topics in energy where ARPA-E sees significant opportunities to innovate and create new communities. ARPA-E plans to announce a total of nine OPEN+ cohorts throughout late 2018 and early 2019.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

states are already actively participating in the design and implementation of three regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. percent per year over the next four years so that in 2018 there is a ten percent reduction from the baseline. Participating U.S. states account for approximately one-half of the U.S.
