The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a request for proposals for the research and development (R&D) projects that support DOE’s H2@Scale vision for large-scale, affordable hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and utilisation.
Through the request from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, is requesting proposals for collaborative R&D projects addressing two priority areas of interest:
Advancing hydrogen fuelling technologies for medium- and heavy-duty fuel cell vehicles.
Addressing technical barriers to hydrogen blending in natural gas.
The request for proposals looks to increase industrial and stakeholder engagement in H2@Scale through investment and active participation in cooperative R&D agreement projects with DOE’s National Laboratories.
Support from HFTO will fund the National Laboratory services, staff time, and facilities necessary to support each selected project.
Proposals are due by Friday, 31st July 2020, at 7pm Eastern Time.
