RFI on Enabling Technologies for a Commercially Viable Fusion Power Plant
Request for Information – Enabling Technologies for a Commercially Viable Fusion Power Plant This is a Request for Information only.
This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance.
The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform
the possible formulation of future programs.
ARPA-E is seeking information from diverse R&D communities, from both within and especially outside the fusion R&D community, about technological solutions and innovations that can enable commercially viable fusion power plants.
While it is impossible to predict precisely what is needed for fusion to be “commercially viable” over the next few decades, fusion’s market entry may require that both the nameplate generation capacity and total construction cost be well below the assumed 1-GWe and >$5B (2019 dollars) scales described in prior fusion-power-plant studies.
This RFI focuses specifically on the enabling technologies for potential fusion power plants at reduced nameplate capacity and cost.
ARPA-E is particularly interested in transformational R&D opportunities that are not already being pursued by or included in the roadmaps of ongoing DOE fusion programs.
The information you provide may be used by ARPA-E in support of program planning.
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA).
NO FOA EXISTS AT THIS TIME.
