Mechanical Engineering Team Secures $2.3M ARPA-E Grant to Develop Advanced Electrolyzer

The United States electrical grid is fragmented, which means transferring excess power from one region to another is no easy feat.

The U.S. Department of Energy is searching for promising solutions to this challenge through its Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), including ways of transferring power using chemicals.

With that in mind, ARPA-E selected a project led by University of Wisconsin-Madison Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor James Pikul for a three-year, $2.3 million grant as part of the agency’s Vision OPEN 2024 program....
