Projects funded under this NOFO will improve the performance of technologies for hydrogen production, hydrogen infrastructure, and fuel cells, and will demonstrate hydrogen and fuel cells in a new, high-impact application.
These efforts are a key part of the Biden-Harris administration's coordinated "whole of government" approach to advancing clean hydrogen, as led by the Hydrogen Interagency Task Force.
Advancing and demonstrating critical hydrogen and fuel cell technologies will help to drive decarbonization across challenging sectors, such as heavy-duty transportation and industrial and chemical processes.
This initiative ultimately supports the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap vision of affordable clean hydrogen for a net-zero-carbon future and a sustainable, resilient, and equitable economy.
Notice of Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0003439Funding Amount: Up to $46 millionDeadline for Concept Papers: November 20, 2024, at 5 p.m. ET
DOE's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) will administer this NOFO, which focuses on: scaling up advanced photoelectrochemical hydrogen-production processes, improving materials for hydrogen infrastructure, developing critical components for fuel cells in heavy-duty transportation applications, and demonstrating domestic hydrogen fuel cell electric motorcoach buses.
By improving key technologies, spurring deployment, and helping industry achieve economies of scale, activities funded by this NOFO will support the long-term viability of DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs and other commercial-scale hydrogen installations.
This NOFO will fund projects under the following topic areas:
