The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a new funding opportunity of up to $46 million to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration of clean hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. This initiative, part of the Biden-Harris administration’s effort to advance clean energy, will focus on improving hydrogen production, infrastructure, and fuel cell applications, particularly in sectors like heavy-duty transportation and industrial processes.
Key areas include scaling up photoelectrochemical water splitting, developing high-performance materials for hydrogen storage, advancing fuel cell components for heavy-duty vehicles, and demonstrating hydrogen fuel cell electric buses. This funding supports DOE’s broader goals of decarbonization and building a sustainable, resilient economy.
