Funding Notice: $46 Million Available to Advance Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for up to $46 million to accelerate the research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of affordable clean-hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Projects under this funding opportunity will improve the performance of technologies for hydrogen production, hydrogen infrastructure, and fuel cells, and will demonstrate hydrogen and fuel cells in a new, high-impact application. These efforts are a key part of the Biden-Harris administration’s coordinated “whole of government” approach to advancing clean hydrogen, as led by the Hydrogen Interagency Task Force.

Advancing and demonstrating critical hydrogen and fuel technologies will help to drive decarbonization across challenging sectors, such as heavy-duty transportation and industrial and chemical processes, and ultimately help to realize the vision embodied in the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap of affordable clean hydrogen for a net-zero carbon future and a sustainable, resilient, and equitable economy. |
NOFO NUMBER:
DOE-FOA-0003439
FUNDING AMOUNT:
$46 Million
CONCEPT PAPERS DUE DATE:

By improving key technologies, spurring deployment, and helping industry achieve economies of scale, activities funded by this opportunity will support and reinforce the long-term viability of DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) and other commercial-scale hydrogen installations.
This NOFO will fund projects under the following topic areas:
-
Topic 1: Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Device Scale Up.
-
Topic 2: High-Performance Materials for Hydrogen Service, Including Cryogenic and/or High-Pressure Conditions.
-
Topic 3: Sustainable High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membranes and Ionomers for Heavy-Duty Transportation Applications.
-
Topic 4: Domestic Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Motorcoach Bus Development and Demonstration.
On October 1, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy transitioned from using a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to using a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) as the primary means of announcing new financial assistance award opportunities, in accordance with the OMB update to the Uniform Guidance: Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Please visit CFO.gov for more information on the updated guidance: CFO.gov | Uniform Guidance: Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
