The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Liox Power, Inc. to develop reversible hydrogen storage materials suitable for widespread transportation applications. Budget Period 1 (BP1) consisted of experimentation and evaluation of multiple component complex and destabilized hydride materials. A NEPA review was conducted for this budget period on December 22, 2016. A conditional determination was made, in which CX’s A9 and B3.6 were applied. Budget Periods 2 and 3 (BP2 and BP3) were not reviewed at that time, as these budget periods would only be negotiated upon meeting the first Go/No-Go milestone and obtaining DOE approval to continue funding. As these conditions have now been met, this NEPA determination will review these final two budget periods.
