On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham connect with Simon Freeman and Dan Rogers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). Not strictly focused on ocean technology, ARPA-E seeks to advance high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that are too early for private-sector investment. ARPA-E sees the tremendous potential of the ocean and coastal space to revolutionize energy solutions, and has a crack team of professionals advancing several programs that explore a wide range of technologies from the Macroalgae Research Inspiring Novel Energy Resources (MARINER) Program, to the Aerodynamic Turbines Lighter and Afloat with Nautical Technologies and Integrated Servo-control (ATLANTIS) Program, and many more. Come along as we explore how ARPA-E is thinking about the coast and ocean, and how the future technologies they are working to develop might someday shape our lives. Dr. Simon Freeman serves as a Program Director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. His focus at ARPA-E is on maritime energy and environmental sensing technologies. Dan Rogers serves as a Tech-to-Market Advisor at the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, where he focuses on transformative, high-impact marine technologies to address our society’s most pressing ocean-related energy and critical resource needs.
