About this opportunity

Modification 000001: The purpose of this modification is to update the following: 1) Section I.B.ii – Topic 2A ‐ Integrated Energy Production and Hydrogen Fueling R&D: Edited: Applicants should clearly describe plans for early‐stage and applied R&D and for system performance verification testing, explaining the innovation, and must include a 20% cost share. 2) Section IV.D.ii – Technical Volume: Edited: Workplan This section should constitute approximately 40% of the Technical Volume) 3) Section V.A.ii – Full Applications: Edited: Criterion 2: Project Research (30%) This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports the research and development of key early-stage technical challenges for fuel cells and for hydrogen fuel production, delivery and storage, and will leverage the private sector to address institutional barriers that impact progress in the field. The goal of this research activity is to provide reliable energy from diverse domestic resources, providing the benefits of increased energy security and reduced emissions through early-stage research and development. The global fuel cell market increased its growth 40% in 2016, with revenues of over $1.6 billion in 2016 and over 20,000 fuel cell units for material handling equipment purchased in the alone since 2009. Light duty vehicles are an emerging application for fuel cells that has earned substantial commercial and government interest worldwide due to the superior efficiencies, reductions in petroleum consumption, and reductions in criteria pollutants fuel cells make possible. The FOA topics include: Topic 1: Energy Materials Network (EMN) - ElectroCat – This topic will leverage the Electrocatalysis Consortium (ElectroCat) to accelerate the development of catalysts made without platinum group metals for use in fuel cells for transportation. The EMN consortia have been established to make unique, world-class capabilities at the national laboratories more accessible to industry, facilitating collaborations that will expedite the development and manufacturing of advanced materials for commercial markets. Topic 2: H2@Scale – This topic aims to improve the efficiency and resiliency of the electrical grid and of the transportation sector, and to realize gains in the various industries using or producing hydrogen. Some of the key research areas in this topic include materials compatibility, electrolyzer integration, and analysis. Topic 3: Innovative Concepts – This topic supports applied early stage research and development of fuel cell technologies for early market applications, with a primary focus on reducing cost and improving durability. While the main focal points of the program's R&D portfolio are polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and platinum-based catalysts, the program also supports longer-term technical approaches that offer advantages over PEMFCs. The full FOA is posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere- To apply to this FOA, Applicants must register with and submit application materials through EERE Exchange, EERE’s online application portal. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website.
