ARPA-C was a Biden administration proposal to create a climate-focused advanced-research arm within DOE, parallel to ARPA-E. The proposal was never enacted into law; no office was established and no grants were ever issued. Climate and clean-energy advanced R&D under the Trump administration is folded into ARPA-E's existing remit.
