Capitalizing on DOE’s Innovation Ecosystem | C3 Energy Summit 2025

This panel explores how the Department of Energy’s innovation ecosystem can better move breakthrough technologies from early-stage research to large-scale deployment. Panelists discuss why the United States continues to lead in energy innovation but often struggles to commercialize and scale new technologies—particularly in nuclear, fusion, geothermal, and grid infrastructure—and what must change to close that gap. Rather than focusing on innovation for its own sake, the conversation centers on aligning public capital, private investment, and institutional speed to deliver affordable, reliable energy at scale and maintain U.S. competitiveness. Panelists: Conner Prochaska, Director, ARPA-E Michael Bruce, Senior Director, Venture Investing, Emerson Collective Greg Beard, Senior Advisor, DOE’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) Taite McDonald, Executive Director, Energy Infrastructure Alliance Foundation (EIAF) Christofer Mowry, CEO, Type One Energy Topics include: The gap between invention and deployment Scaling energy technologies in a competitive global landscape Aligning public financing with private execution Moving from innovation to infrastructure at speed
