The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) for the demonstration of a proton-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer cell (p-SOEC) concept through fabrication and testing of a p-SOEC cell and the development of a detailed cost estimate model. Project work would occur within existing facilities at UTRC in Connecticut 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. Only Budget Period 1 (BP1) was originally negotiated and was reviewed by GFO-0008080-001 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 in BP2 and BP3.
