CC2 and technology development
  An implicit goal of our Carbon Cycle 2.0 initiative is to turn our
fundamental science into scalable technologies that will have a
major impact on the relationship between energy production
and carbon emissions
  There are few programs within the DOE funding structure that
provide support for this transformation of science into
technology
  ARPA-e is one such program
  Consequently, it is imperative that we use ARPA-e funding as
effectively as possible to make CC2 a success
