The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) awarded Metox International, Inc. a $3,000,000 cooperative agreement on May 1, 2024 to develop low-cost MOCVD HTS wire technology. This award supports Metox's efforts to dramatically lower the manufacturing costs of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wire by improving equipment throughput, material efficiency, and wire performance. The goal is to ensure a large domestic supply of low-cost HTS wire that can enable transformative improvements to power transmission infrastructure and unlock fusion power generation through more powerful HTS magnets. This award contributes to ARPA-E's objectives of advancing innovative energy technologies and accelerating the transition to a decarbonized energy system.
