A program by ARPA-E focused on the development of hydrogen fuel cells and other types of fuel cell technology, as well as distributed power generation systems, to stabilize the national energy grid and improve energy security.

A federal funding initiative providing $150 million to support research and development of cutting-edge alternative energy technologies including wind, solar, geothermal, bio-based, and hydrogen energy projects.

A wind turbine designed without a rigid support structure, built to catch wind currents and use them to reach high altitude. The turbines will be tethered to the ground but will otherwise have free reign of the skies.

An experimental vehicle powered by solar energy, featuring a carbon-fiber body with integrated solar panels. The vehicle is being developed by Stanford University students as part of the Volkswagen Automotive Innovation Lab (VAIL) to demonstrate the viability of solar energy for transportation.
