Pending As noted in ARPA-E’s FY17 Congressional Budget Justification - In FY16 ARPA-E released funding opportunity announcements for seven focused programs and awarded $201M to 77 projects that aim to: improve the energy efficiency of existing single-pane windows in commercial and residential buildings, increase energy efficiency of datacenters, develop new crop breeding approaches for improved root and soil function, use renewable energy to convert air and water into cost-competitive liquid fuels, reduce energy consumption of future vehicles, and accelerate devices built with high performance ion-conducting solids to commercial deployment.
As of February 2017, ARPA-E has invested a total of $1.5 billion across more than 580 projects through 36 focused programs and three open funding solicitations. This initial investment has attracted more than $1.8 billion in private sector follow-on funding. Additionally, at least 56 ARPA-E project teams have formed new companies and 68 projects have partnered with other government agencies for further development.

Since 2009, ARPA-E has provided approximately $4.07 billion in R&D funding for more than 1,690 potentially transformational energy technology projects.
ARPA-E tracks key early indicators that help illustrate how the advanced R&D funded by the Agency can potentially turn into commercial impact, including private-sector follow-on funding, new company formation, partnership with other government agencies, publications, inventions, and patents. In September 2024, ARPA-E announced that many of its project teams have continued to advance their technologies: 166 new companies have formed; 372 have partnered with another government agency; and 250 teams have together raised more than $13.5 billion in private-sector follow-on funding to continue to advance their technology toward the market. Moreover, as of September 2024, ARPA-E projects have helped advance scientific understanding and technological innovation through 7,818 peer-reviewed journal articles and 1,187 patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These indicators demonstrate that ARPA-E’s approach to selecting, funding, and actively managing early-stage energy R&D continues to pay off, advancing the state of the art in energy science and engineering and defining new opportunities for commercialization of advanced energy technologies.
