In order to makehydrogen a more available and effective fuel for electricity generation, The United States Department of Energy (USDOE) will partner with private companies to research advanced technology solutions. This includes improving capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) associated with hydrogen production from carbon-based resources and technologies to more efficiently use hydrogen in gas turbines for electricity generation.
DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under the purview of the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) will manage the selected projects.
The companies include 8 Rivers Capital, Gas Technology Institute, General Electric Company, and Raytheon Technologies Research Center.
The six industry-sponsored projects are to fast-track the development of technologies that will improve the performance, reliability, and flexibility of existing and new hydrogen technologies. Electricity generated from clean hydrogen will help in reaching President Biden’s goal of having a zero-carbon American power sector by 2035.
