The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) last week announced $8.8 million for 11 university-based research and development projects to improve the performance of hydrogen-fueled turbines. The selected projects will develop advanced materials and components that can better manage and withstand the extreme environment generated during hydrogen combustion to enable the use of up to 100% hydrogen in gas turbines for low-carbon power generation, helping to advance DOE goals.
Since 2021, FECM has committed an estimated $147 million in projects that explore new methods to produce hydrogen and to improve the performance of hydrogen-fueled turbines. These commitments support DOE's Hydrogen Shot initiative, which seeks to reduce the cost of hydrogen by 80% to $1 per 1 kilogram in one decade to develop and commercialize new hydrogen pathways in the United States.
