The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Northeastern University (NEU) to create durable, high-performance materials and interfaces for advanced water splitting to enable a pathway for reducing costs for hydrogen production using anion exchange membrane (AEM)-based electrolysis. Project work would occur within existing laboratories at NEU, University of Delaware, and Advent Technologies. Collaboration is expected to occur with the HydroGEN Energy Materials Network National Laboratory consortium. This is a three-year research project that includes three budget periods (BP). Only BP1 was originally negotiated and was reviewed by GFO-0008082-001 in July 2017. There was a Go/No Go decision point after BP1 that was passed so this NEPA review is for the remaining project activities in BP2 and BP3.
