The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced nearly $62 million for projects across 15 states to accelerate the research, development, demonstration, and deployment of next-generation clean hydrogen technologies. These projects will advance critical elements of hydrogen fueling infrastructure, develop and demonstrate hydrogen-powered container-handling equipment for use at ports, and improve processes essential to the efficient, timely, and equitable deployment of hydrogen technologies.

DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) will manage the selected projects, which span the following five topic areas:
(four projects, $8.5 million)Selected projects will develop advanced components to enable gaseous and liquid hydrogen fueling for medium- and heavy-duty hydrogen-powered vehicles.
(four projects, $40 million)Selected projects will develop and demonstrate a low-cost, standardized, and replicable advanced "hydrogen fueling station of the future"—one that can meet the needs of commercial-scale MD/HD truck fueling.
(one project, $2.5 million)The selected project will design, develop, and demonstrate a hydrogen fuel cell "top loader" (for handling containers) and a mobile refueler at the Port of Oakland.
(seven projects, $7 million)Selected projects will identify the primary challenges to siting, permitting, and installation across the value chain from hydrogen production through end-use and explore opportunities to address them.
(four projects, $4 million)Selected projects will improve the capacity of DOE and DOE-funded projects to conduct effective community-engagement activities. With funding from HFTO and DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, these projects will engage directly with disadvantaged communities to help DOE gain a better understanding of their concerns and provide them with important information about hydrogen and related technologies. They will also develop lessons learned and best practices on Community Benefits Plans.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is dedicated to advancing the national, economic, and energy security of the United States through scientific and technological innovation in energy, environmental stewardship, and nuclear security. For more information, visit www.energy.gov.
