DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design.

DOE selects 15 projects for $32M to advance lower-cost fusion concepts; ARPA-E BETHE

Green Car Congress

However, there remains a need to lower the costs of fusion development and accelerate its development timeline to have appreciable impact. The CM has a simple, axisymmetric geometry and provides a potential low-cost pathway to a breakeven experiment. Commercial fusion technology has long been viewed as an ideal energy source.
