These roadmaps and program plans guide and document the strategy, activities, and plans for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO).
The U.S. National Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap explores opportunities for hydrogen to contribute to national goals across multiple sectors of the economy. It provides a snapshot of hydrogen production, transport, storage, and use in the United States today and presents a strategic framework for achieving large-scale production and use of hydrogen, examining scenarios for 2030, 2040, and 2050.
The Department of Energy Hydrogen Program Plan is a foundational resource for advancing research, development, demonstration, and deployment of hydrogen technologies. It specifically identifies and articulates strategic, high-impact areas of focus across DOE’s Hydrogen Program—a cohesive and coordinated effort involving multiple hydrogen-related offices—and explains how DOE offices collaboratively work to efficiently implement the broader strategies outlined in the U.S. National Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap.
The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office Multi-Year Program Plan sets forth HFTO's mission, goals, and strategic approach relative to broader DOE priorities. Aligned with the priorities in the U.S. National Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, the MYPP identifies the challenges that must be overcome to realize the full potential of hydrogen and fuel cells and explains how HFTO's research, development, and demonstration activities will help to overcome those challenges in the near-, mid-, and longer-term.
The U.S. DRIVE partnership plan, roadmaps, and accomplishments provide information about U.S. DRIVE, which stands for "Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle efficiency and Energy sustainability". DOE is a member of U.S. DRIVE and participates on several technical teams related to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
