Description

This NOFO advances EERE and national goals to deliver an equitable, clean energy future, and put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050 to the benefit of all Americans. Projects selected in this NOFO will support the goals of DOE’s Hydrogen Shot, which targets affordable clean hydrogen production at $1/kg by 2031, and the H2@Scale Initiative, which aims to advance affordable hydrogen production, transport, storage, and utilization to enable decarbonization and revenue opportunities across multiple sectors. Specific goals in addition to clean hydrogen production of $1/kg by 2031 include: $80/kilowatt (kW), 25,000-hour durability for fuel cell systems in heavy-duty transportation and reducing hydrogen storage costs to an ultimate goal of $8/kilowatt-hour (kWh).
