We have to keep at it — because promoting clean energy innovation will help grow the economy while taking decisive action on climate change.
That is why, today, I was proud to announce a new Clean Energy Investment Initiative at the Department of Energy ARPA-E Summit. Through the Initiative, the Administration seeks to catalyze $2 billion of expanded private-sector investment in solutions to climate change, including innovative technologies with breakthrough potential to reduce carbon pollution. By leveraging the tools and capabilities of the federal government, this new Initiative will increase investment in clean energy technologies.
To build on these initial commitments, the White House will host a Clean Energy Investment Summit later this spring. The Summit will bring together foundations and mission-driven institutional investors to discuss ways to scale up investment in clean energy innovation. The Department of Energy (DOE) will also help catalyze philanthropic activity through the Initiative by leading an effort to identify opportunities to leverage its world-class technical expertise, technologies, and programs to assist in understanding the opportunities and needs to transition to a clean energy economy.
