On Thursday, February 7, from noon to 1 p.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Fuel Cell Technologies Office presented a live webinar titled "Addressing Challenges to Water Splitting Materials for Hydrogen Production through HydroGEN AWSM, a Multi-Lab Collaboration." This webinar provided an overview of HydroGEN, part of DOE's Energy Materials Network. HydroGEN, a six-lab consortium, aims to accelerate the discovery and development of advanced water splitting materials (AWSM) for hydrogen production. Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory discussed the consortium's extensive materials research capabilities to address R&D challenges in efficiency, durability, and cost. Researchers also discussed the consortium's structure, which is designed to foster industry and academia collaboration and engagement, and to make HydroGEN capabilities available to the broader research community through DOE- and industry-funded projects. The webinar was recorded and included a 15-minute Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
