DOE to Establish National Center for Hydrogen Technology
Grand Forks, N.D. — The U.S. Department of Energy today announced the award of $2.7 million to the University of North Dakota to establish a National Center for Hydrogen Technology. The new center will focus on obtaining hydrogen from coal, America’s most abundant fossil fuel, and will test a range of technologies from hydrogen production to transportation to utilization.
(I-Newswire) - Hydrogen has the potential to solve at least two major energy challenges confronting America today: dependence on imported oil and emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
The one year cooperative agreement among the University of North Dakota, DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory ( NETL ), and several industry partners will initiate a diverse research program in pursuit of a hydrogen economy infrastructure.
Research conducted at the center will advance President Bush’s Hydrogen Fuel Initiative, which calls for developing the technology needed for commercially viable hydrogen-powered fuel cells, and FutureGen, an initiative to build the world’s first integrated sequestration and hydrogen production research power plant.
Initial projects will address coal refining, hydrogen carriers, end-of-pipe reforming, and strategic studies to identify the research areas most likely to overcome barriers to the deployment of hydrogen-from-coal technologies.
NETL will provide program oversight for the center’s first year of operation. Industry cost share funding brings the program’s first year total value to $3.4 million.
