Manchin Announces $20.5m for West Virginia University Research to Help Grow Hydrogen Industry
Reactions to the US statement of intent regarding clean Hydrogen leadership still coming in.
Washington, DC-- Today, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, announced a total of $13,800,000
Low-Cost, High-Throughput Electrolyzer Manufacturing
Number of projects: 8 Award amount: $316 million
Selected projects will conduct RD&D to enable greater economies of scale through electrolyzer manufacturing innovations, including automated manufacturing processes; design for processability and scale-up; advanced quality control methods; reduced critical mineral loadings; and design for end-of-life recovery and recyclability.
Electrolyzer Component and Supply Chain Development
Number of projects: 10 Award amount: $81 million
Se lected projects will support the U.S. supply chain manufacturing and development needs of key electrolyzer components, including catalysts, membranes, and porous transport layers.
Advanced Technology and Component Development
Number of projects: 18 Award amount: $72 million
Selected projects will demonstrate novel materials, components, and designs for electrolyzers that meet performance, lifetime, and cost metrics to enable cost reduction and mitigate supply chain risks.
Advanced Manufacturing of Fuel Cell Assemblies and Stacks
Number of projects: 5 Award amount: $150 million
Selected projects will support high-throughput manufacturing of low-cost fuel cells and address key scale-up challenges to achieve economies of scale.
Fuel Cell Supply Chain Development Number of projects: 10 Award amount: $82 million
Selected projects will conduct R&D to address critical deficiencies in the domestic supply chain for fuel cell materials and components and develop advanced technologies that reduce or eliminate the need for “forever chemicals.”
Recovery and Recycling Consortium Number of projects: 1 Award amount: $50 million
This funding establishes a consortium of industry, academia, and national labs to develop innovative and practical approaches to enable the recovery, recycling, and reuse of clean-hydrogen materials and components. The consortium will establish a blueprint across the industry for recycling electrolyzer and fuel cell systems and components, securing long-term supply chain security, and environmental sustainability.
