SHASTA released a tool for estimating the potential for hydrogen storage in subsurface formations (e.g., salt caverns), to explore hydrogen storage options in the US, supporting decarbonization efforts.
The DOE’s investment will launch seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs across the U.S., accelerating the deployment of clean hydrogen, supporting energy security goals, combating the climate crisis, and creating thousands of jobs.
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory was selected to lead a DOE Energy Earthshot Research Center, receiving $5 million to study the use of plasma for producing carbon-free, clean hydrogen fuel.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management invests $6.4 million in university projects that will develop materials and components to improve hydrogen turbine technology.
The U.S. Department of Energy awards funding to 19 industry- and university-led research projects, supporting the availability and affordability of clean hydrogen for electricity, transportation, and decarbonization.
Idaho National Laboratory has set up testing platforms for U.S. companies to evaluate high-temperature steam electrolysis technologies, helping scale up production and minimize the costs of hydrogen production.
The roadmap outlines the framework for accelerating production, delivery, storage, and use of clean hydrogen; supporting efforts to build a clean energy economy and reach long-term decarbonization goals.
The Department of Energy announced nearly $42 million in funding for 22 clean hydrogen projects in 14 states. DOE also earmarked $17.8 million for projects to improve the electric power grid.
