The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to administer Congressionally Directed Spending to the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) for the construction of renewable fuel research and education facilities focused on the use of hydrogen and ammonia as energy carriers.
All new facilities, except for the hydrogen fuel cell facility, would be located on previously disturbed ground at the North Avenue Research Area on the Georgia Tech campus, adjacent to the Ben T. Zinn Combustion Laboratory, in Atlanta, Georgia. The ammonia storage facility would consist of a 1700-gallon tank, along with safety, vaporization, and distribution equipment, and would be installed on a concrete pad that is already in place. An existing parking lot would be converted to a concrete pad for installation of the hydrogen generation, storage, and distribution equipment, as well as the air compression and heating equipment. Existing natural gas, electrical, and water services would be extended from the existing facility to the new ones. Project activities would also include modifications to, and installation of new, fencing.
