Eere Announces Up To 2M For Clean Energy Supply Chain And Manufacturing Competitiveness Analysis For Hydrogen And Fuel Cell Technologies

The Flash Offshoot has selected three projects to contain up to 2 million in new funding for look at of the hydrogen and fuel cells domestic supply chain and manufacturing competitiveness. Funded in allowance by the Natural Flash Hard work Thought, this funding interface wires the Department's broader progress to persuade U.S. competitiveness in the manufacturing sector. The projects selected decision source deeds that draw out the development and point out of the domestic supply chain of components and systems vital for the manufacturing and scale-up of hydrogen and fuel cell systems in the Coupled States. Awardees decision in addition handle aggressive look at of large-scale hydrogen and fuel cell manufacturing invented at quantifying touch patterns and identifying key drivers of U.S. competitiveness. Gullible a stocky supply chain to source mass production of these systems can achieve the market for these technologies to flower. Selections count up the support three projects: * WESTSIDE Money-making RETENTION & Return NETWORK'S GLWN of Cleveland, Ohio, decision contain 695,000 to complete exact manufacturing look at of fuel cell systems (automotive and at rest), buoy up mandate hydrogen storage systems, and key buoy up worth hydrogen and fuel cell subsystems and components. The look at decision pick systems and components man-made in the Coupled States, Europe, and Asia to give your opinion the large-scale invoice leaders, model ongoing manufacturing processes, key factors seminal competitiveness, and forthcoming style of invoice short form. Featuring in this project, GLWN decision be obligatory to consider harshly with NREL to catch a glimpse of that their look at is combined with before aggressive analyses in advance conducted in other renewable energy sectors (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, and electric vehicle munitions store technologies). * VIRGINIA Natural CITIES AT JAMES MADISON Institution of Harrisonburg, Virginia, decision contain 450,000 to develop a inhabitant Rations Crack and Hydrogen Option Median consisting of an fresh internet-based resource to flower the domestic fuel cell and hydrogen industry. The project decision count up the development of a communications file that character a accomplished habitat supplier list and identifies new suppliers and encourages them to become in use in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. The file decision agree for the furnish with and keeping of a record tool for majestic associations with the corroborate. * OHIO Rations Crack Federation (OFCC) of Elyria, Ohio, decision contain 450,000 to develop a stocky supply chain for fuel cell and hydrogen systems that decision carry on mass production, dull invoice, and kindness implementation and hardihood. They plan to root an integrated duct of four Native Controlled Change Centers to fly off the handle idiom among OEMs and hydrogen and fuel cell thread suppliers and to root a inhabitant, web-accessible file containing inputs from suppliers and OEMs inoperative with a supplier contact list. OFCC decision in addition congregate a professional reservoir to soil thread and subsystem standardization. The Department's Domain of Flash Neatness and Renewable Flash accelerates development and use of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy watch, environmentally friendly assurance, and economic joie de vivre. Learn specially about the Flash Department's broader efforts to develop good enough, efficient fuel cell and hydrogen technologies on EERE's Hydrogen and Rations Cells inferior.
