DOE Financing Hydrogen Technology R&D Efforts

The Department of Energy is investing $31 million to develop technologies to facilitate the generation, transportation, storage and usage of hydrogen for the country. DOE said on Monday that the department intends to implement the H2@Scale concept, which is designed to foster new hydrogen-based, fuel cell technologies and applications in various industrial areas including steel manufacturing and ammonia production. 

The effort would revolve around three topics: advanced hydrogen storage and infrastructure research and development, hydrogen production and utilization, integrated production, storage and fueling systems. Interested firms may submit concept proposals through April 8, with final applications due on May 29.
