Opportunity Title:
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office FOA to Advance the National Clean Hydrogen Strategy
Funder/Agency:
DOE EERE
Opportunity Number:
DE-FOA-0003213
Description:
RDD&D activities to be funded under this FOA will support the government-wide approach to the climate crisis by driving the innovation that can lead to the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection. Specifically, this FOA will support the goals of the H2@Scale Initiative which aims to advance affordable hydrogen production, transport, storage, and utilization to enable decarbonization and revenue opportunities
across multiple sectors. These objectives align with DOE’s Hydrogen Energy Earthshot TM (Hydrogen Shot) which targets affordable clean hydrogen production at $1/kg by 2031. Advancing technologies that will facilitate the use of clean hydrogen will support the goal of net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.
HFTO supports a broad portfolio of RDD&D projects for materials, components,
and systems throughout the clean hydrogen value chain. These efforts are
advancing technologies for renewable hydrogen production, hydrogen storage,
hydrogen delivery and fueling infrastructure, and fuel cells (e.g., for MD/HD
transportation applications), among others. HFTO also conducts demonstrations
of systems in real-world operating conditions, including first-of-a-kind
demonstrations of integrated energy systems. To support deployment and
commercialization, HFTO supports a variety of enabling activities to advance
processes and technologies for manufacturing hydrogen and fuel cell
components and systems; improve supply chains and workforce capacity;
improve safety practices and awareness; enable the adoption of essential codes
and standards; and support partnerships and activities that ensure the economic
and environmental benefits of HFTO investments are available to disadvantaged
communities.
