This report presents a summary of ARPA-E's activities during Fiscal Year 2012. ARPA-E issued four new funding solicitations in Fiscal Year 2012 spanning the entire spectrum of energy technologies. ARPA-E awarded $30 million in July 2012 within the Methane Opportunities for Vehicular Energy (MOVE) program, which aims to find cost-effective ways to power passenger cars and other light-duty vehicles with natural gas. In August 2012, $43 million was awarded across two programs for energy storage: the Advanced Management and Protection of Energy Storage Devices (AMPED), which looked at advanced battery management technology, and the Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer program, which focused on developing new, innovative battery chemistries and designs. Finally in November of 2012, $130 million was awarded in an "OPEN" funding covering 11 technology areas. From February 27 – 29, 2012, ARPA-E hosted the third annual Energy Innovation Summit in National Harbor, Maryland. The Summit brought together leaders and innovators from academia, business, and government to share ideas for developing and deploying the next generation of energy technologies. The event drew over 2,600 attendees from 49 states, Puerto Rico, and 26 countries and featured 107 expert speakers and keynote addresses, including leaders from government, business and academia.
