The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a multi-million-dollar cash injection to advance America’s hydrogen (H2) economy.
The organisation will dedicate $15.8m in funding to develop and advance novel and low-cost materials needed for H2 production and storage and for fuel cells onboard light-duty vehicles.
In total, the 30 selected projects will leverage national lab consortia launched under DOE’s Energy Materials Network (EMN) this past year in support of DOE’s materials research and advanced manufacturing priorities. The projects fall into four key areas.
The majority of projects will focus on the acceleration of the development of advanced water-splitting materials for H2 production. Others will explore possible cost reductions of H2 storage tanks for fuel cell vehicles, viable solid-state materials for onboard H2 storage and catalyst developments.
