Dean @kellysgallagher was a member of the study committee for a report evaluating The Advanced Research Projects Agency‒Energy, an agency that plays a critical role within the U.S. Department of Energy. @theNASEM @CIERP_Fletcher @policy_climate
National Academies@theNASEMAug 20
Breakthrough energy technologies can struggle to attract investment before they’re proven. ARPA-E helps bridge that gap by backing high-risk, high-payoff ideas. Our new report examines why ARPA-E's model works and how to ensure its continued success. 🧵

NEW BLOG: Union Budget announcements signal which technologies the government wants to scale up. Whether they actually scale depends on choosing the right policy instruments and designing them to remove the key bottleneck at each stage of diffusion. Using a five-stage diffusion framework, @Nikita_Shukla02, @AmanJSrivastava, and @na_easwaran explain why early alignment improves the chances of faster diffusion and more durable outcomes.

Check out Professor @na_easwaran's latest piece on clean energy RD&D in India🌏
Sustainable Futures Collaborative
@SFC_India18 Dec 2025
NEW BLOG: India is committed to scaling its domestic green hydrogen value chain, but what does its public R&D portfolio reveal about its innovation strategy? Drawing on a review of nearly 250 publicly funded projects, @KPatel20775514, @AmanJSrivastava and @na_easwaran examine where India’s hydrogen R&D is concentrated, where gaps persist, and the strategic choices shaping whether India competes primarily on cost or on technology leadership. This piece is the second in our innovation tech blog series, following our piece on solar R&D. Read: sustainablefutures.org/blog/…
