The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Stanford University for the development, fabrication, and testing of III-V semiconductor devices for photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production from water splitting. Project work would occur within existing laboratory facilities at Stanford University in California and collaboration is expected to occur with the HydroGEN Energy Materials Network National Laboratory consortium. This is a three-year research project that includes multiple Budget Periods (BPs). Only BP1 was originally negotiated and was reviewed by GFO-0008084-001 in June 2017. There was a Go/No Go decision point after BP1 that was passed so this NEPA review is for the remaining project activities.
