The #ARPAE24 Energy Innovation Summit Student Program was a huge success!    📅Each year, this program brings together talented grad students and future energy professionals for three days of student-focused activities at the Summit. Student attendees have the unique opportunity to learn about cutting-edge tech, expand their professional networks, and engage with top companies seeking new talent. Plus, ARPA-E’s new undergraduate INTEREST interns joined in on the fun for the first time this year!     Here are some key highlights:    🔹Career Panel: ARPA-E Director Dr. Evelyn Wang, Co-Founder & CEO of Eden Dr. Paris Smalls, PhD, and a panel of early-career energy professionals, including Dr. Rachel Starr, Clean Air Task Force, Dr. Carrie McIntosh, PhD, ORISE, Dr. Katharine Greco, Still Bright, Dr. Carly Anderson, Prelude Ventures, and former ARPA-E Fellow, Dr. Jonathan Melville, who shared their journeys and offered students advice for launching exciting careers in energy.    🔹Student Recruiter Meet & Greet: With fresh insights from the career panel, students engaged with over 30 recruiters from top companies and explored diverse career paths in the energy space.    🔹Student PITCHES Session: Six graduate students pitched their innovative energy ideas to a panel of energy experts across industry and academia, including ARPA-E Program Director Dr. Olga Spahn, Brenda Haendler, Breakthrough Energy , Dhanushkodi Mariappan, GE Vernova Advanced Research, Joshua Speros, BASF Venture Capital, and Dr. Emily Yedinak, PhD, Koloma. The winner, Katelyn Ripley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, then earned the opportunity to pitch her idea on the Main Stage to all Summit attendees the following day.     🎓Calling all Ph.D. students! Apply for next year’s Summit Student Program in Washington, D.C., and unlock incredible opportunities to learn, network, and expand your career horizons. 📓Undergrad students, we haven't forgotten about you! If you're INTERESTed in participating in ARPA-E’s internship program next summer, now is the time to get on board. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest information on both programs! 

This week, my colleague Soledad Barbera and I had the opportunity to spend time in Boston with our partners at Eden and SiTration, Inc. while attending an industry round table event at MIT, expertly facilitated by Elsa Olivetti and Ron Spangler. It’s been a truly inspiring few days talking with our mining peers and the brilliant faculty members at MIT about how we can come together as an industry to unlock the resources the world needs to decarbonise, enabled by collaboration to develop new technology systems to reimagine the mining industry. We can do so much more together than alone to solve the challenges we face to supply the critical minerals the world needs. Awesome to see the exciting progress at both Eden and SiTration too. We’re very enthusiastic about these partnerships and excited to be a part of their journey to transform mining. At Think & Act Differently, Powered by BHP we are growing our ecosystem of innovators to deliver resources in new ways. We welcome and support innovators from any industry to collaborate to tackle complex challenges and accelerate the best mining technology solutions.

It’s hard to pick, but for Eden the highlight of SF Climate Week may have been the panel hosted by Anglo American and Activate, “Unleashing early-stage startup potential with corporate venture capital - Perspectives from corporate venture investors and startups.” Eden’s corporate investors have been crucial in accelerating our tech’s journey to market. Eden's Co-Founder and President Ammar Alali was honored to speak alongside Tomás Rauch, representing one of our strongest supporters, TechEnergy Ventures, Ishaq Ahmad from Decarb Ventures and Olivia Dippo, the founder of Limelight Steel. Thank you to Nikhil B. Gargeya at Activate for hosting! 🏙 🌲 🌏 #SFClimateWeek #GreenCapital #GreenTechnology

Thank you Jamie Beard, MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Project InnerSpace for two incredible days of knowledge exchange between researchers in aerospace, defense, geothermal, and oil and gas, all working on technologies to withstand extreme pressure and temperature. Eden is proud to be developing technology to efficiently harvest geothermal heat at extreme temperatures and depths. 🌎 🌋 ⚡  #NextGenGeothermal  #GeothermalLiftoff Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gYdWV4tt

The U.S. Oman strategic dialogue held in DC in April was an excellent opportunity to convene the parties supporting Eden's work on geologic hydrogen in Oman. Only something with as much power and potential as geologic hydrogen could bring leaders from the Oman Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM), the US DOE, Eden, and Newlab together. 🗻 ⚡ 💡 🌏 Thank you Yousuf Al Azri, Dr. Saleh Al-Saadi, Khalil Al Hanashi, Ph.D., Dan Milstein, and Sahil Jain for working with Eden.

Eden’s MENA Region Manager Ahmed Alhani attended the Oman Petroleum & Energy Show and met with the the Oman Ministry of Energy and Minerals' Director General of Investment, Dr. Salah bin Hafeez al Dhahab! Eden is proud to play in a role in the future of energy in Oman by leading exploration of Oman's geologic hydrogen resources! 🌏 🔋 💡 🏜 #Oman #geologichydrogen #geoH2 #futureofenergy Learn more on our website: https://lnkd.in/gX6D6dca

We are glad to see investors recognizing the potential of #geologichydrogen as a primary energy source and acting accordingly! Eden is proud to lead stimulated geologic hydrogen research. #stimulatedGeoH2 #GeoH2 #hydrogen

Thank you ARPA-E and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center for inviting Eden to pitch at the first Northeast Regional Clean Energy Showcase! We can't wait to see this event become a tradition over the years. 🥂 🎈 🎊 #ARPAEontheRoad #climatetech #cleanenergy

🌎 Exciting updates from Boston! ARPA-E and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MASSCEC) recently hosted a joint Regional Clean Energy Showcase in Boston, MA, featuring updates from both on their vision for the future of clean energy.     💡 The full-day event gathered the region’s top innovators, investors, and partners for a series of engaging panel discussions on the different challenges of starting and scaling clean energy ventures in MA and throughout the U.S.     The event also featured an exciting showcase of select projects supported by ARPA-E, including Copernic Catalysts, Eden, VEIR, Gencores, Electrified Thermal Solutions, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Osmoses.   #ARPAEontheRoad 🚗

TechEnergy Ventures is systematically knocking down the technical challenges standing in the way of scaling geothermal. Eden is proud to be developing technology critical to #NextGenGeothermal #geothermal #Liftoff
