DARPAtv | FAARM - Fuel Access Anywhere, Regardless of Means - Advanced Research Concept Opportunity @DARPAtv | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
The fuel economy of the future is shifting from a dependence on fossil fuels and toward alternative pathways, such as energy-dense synthetic fuels. Recent advancements in the field of synthetic fuels for commercial applications offer promise, but, at this time, synthesis of energy-dense fuels of interest, such as ammonia, methanol, and gasoline, remain energetically costly and, therefore, not viable to deploy at the point of need. The Fuel Access Anywhere, Regardless of Means (FAARM) Advanced Research Concept (ARC) Opportunity solicits ideas to explore the following question: Can energy-dense fuels be synthesized using an efficient, small-scale system?
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is sponsoring a live webinar to provide information and promote technical exchange with potential proposers on the objectives of the FAARM ARC opportunity issued under the ARC Exploration Announcement (DARPA-EA‐24-01).
The webinar will include an overview of DSO, the ARC initiative, and a FAARM-specific presentation. Registrants will have the opportunity to hear from experts in military logistics and advancements in fuels research and have the opportunity to ask questions. The webinar will be held on Thursday, January 18, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Registration is required for all webinar attendees. There is no in-person option for this event, and there is no fee for the webinar. To maximize the pool of innovative research concepts, DARPA strongly encourages participation in these events and subsequent solicitations by non‐traditional performers, including small businesses, academic and research institutions, and first‐time Government contractors.
