DOE Funding Opportunity Targets Clean Hydrogen Technologies

The Department of Energy recently announced up to $47 million in funding to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration of affordable clean hydrogen technologies. The funding , which is being administered by the DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, is focused on the research, development, and demonstration of hydrogen delivery and storage technologies, as well as affordable and durable fuel cell technologies. Clean hydrogen, which is produced with zero or near-zero emissions, can play a role in reducing emissions from some of the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy, including industrial and chemical processes and heavy-duty transportation, but while hydrogen technologies have come a long way, costs and other challenges to at-scale adoption need to be addressed for clean hydrogen to realize its full potential, the DOE said. The DOE said the fuel cell projects should focus on applications for heavy duty trucks that have the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and eliminate tailpipe emissions that are harmful to local air quality. The DOE said those efforts will work in concert with hydrogen-related activities funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs and an upcoming funding opportunity for research, development, and demonstration projects to […]
