  DE-FOA-0001026 RELIABLE ELECTRICITY BASED ON ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS (REBELS) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) 1/8/2014 05:00 PM ET 4/14/2014 05:00 PM ET

DE-FOA-0001026: RELIABLE ELECTRICITY BASED ON ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS (REBELS)

This program, Reliable Electricity Based on ELectrochemical Systems (REBELS), seeks to disrupt traditional learning curves for distributed stationary power generation, by introducing technology concepts that have the potential for significantly lower cost and that are capable of performance superior to current distributed generation technologies. Fuel cell technologies have been touted for decades due to their high chemical-to-electrical conversion efficiencies and potential for near-zero greenhouse gas emissions when fueled by hydrogen or operated as part of a carbon capture and storage (CCS) process. However, fuel cell technologies have not achieved widespread adoption due primarily to high cost relative to incumbent combustion technologies. In this program, ARPA-E seeks to fund transformational fuel cell devices that operate in an intermediate temperature range in an attempt to 1) create new pathways to achieve an installed cost to the end-user of less than $1,500/kW at moderate production volumes,  and 2) create new fuel cell functionality to increase grid stability and integration of renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar.
