Oh the irony, it burns. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed Congress in 2021 with votes from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including those who support the fossil fuel industry. Little did they know that the new law makes room for the renewable energy chickens to come home to roost. In the latest example, the US Department of Energy has just announced a new $750 million round of BIL funding, aimed at replacing fossil-sourced hydrogen with green hydrogen from water.
Prying gas and coal out of the hydrogen supply chain is much more than a matter of fuel cells. If every fuel cell on Earth disappeared tomorrow, hydrogen would still be pumping up the global economy with inputs for fertilizer, food processing, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, and refinery systems among other industries.
With that in mind, let’s take a quick look at nine awards that Plug Power is either leading in, or participating in in fuel cell membranes is the focus of another BIL grant with the company Ionomr Innovations at the helm. The project partners include Plug Power, the firm Johnson Matthey, and the University of California – Irvine. “The project will develop innovative hydrocarbon membranes to replace incumbent fluorinated materials,” Plug Power explains.
In a related award, Plug Power will lead a $30 million project aimed at adding 20,000 fuel cell stacks to the existing output of a “global leader in clean hydrogen technologies,” with an assist from the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. If you have any idea who that global leader might be, drop us a note in the comment thread.In addition to PEM technology, the Energy Department is also interested an alternative technology called alkaline electrolysis.
