The HydroGEN Advanced Water Splitting Materials consortium aims to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration of advanced water splitting technologies for hydrogen production.
HydroGEN is a consortium of five U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories that will address advanced water splitting materials challenges by making unique, world-class national lab capabilities in photoelectrochemical, solar thermochemical, and low- and high-temperature electrolytic water splitting more accessible to academia, industry, and other national labs.
Led by the National Laboratory of the Rockies, the HydroGEN consortium includes Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Idaho National Laboratory, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. HydroGEN is funded by DOE's Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office in the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation.
HydroGEN aims to facilitate collaborations between federal laboratories, academia, and industry. The consortium is guided by a steering committee with representatives from each member lab and DOE. The steering committee is available to clarify the capabilities offered by the consortium and to help interested users identify capabilities relevant to a given research project.
HydroGEN will leverage national lab consortia launched under DOE's Energy Materials Network (EMN) and will support the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and advanced manufacturing priorities. The EMN consortia were launched to make unique, world-class capabilities at the national laboratories more accessible to industry and academia, facilitating collaborations that will expedite the development of advanced materials.
