## What the grant funds

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen Program, which encompasses multiple offices within DOE, including the Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy (EERE), Fossil Energy (FE), Nuclear Energy (NE), Electricity (OE), and Science (SC). The intent of this RFI is to obtain public input in support of DOE’s “HyShot” initiative to enable low cost, clean hydrogen at scale. HyShot is the first in a series of Earthshots launched by DOE to look beyond incremental advances and aim, instead, at the game-changing breakthroughs that will secure American leadership in enabling net-zero carbon technologies and support sustainable development around the world, to the benefit of all Americans. The information being sought is intended to assist DOE’s Hydrogen Program in further defining the scope and priorities of its initiatives to accelerate the production, storage, delivery, and end use of clean, affordable hydrogen in the United States. Specifically, this RFI seeks input on viable hydrogen demonstration and deployment projects that enable clean hydrogen production, infrastructure and end use to reduce emissions, create jobs, and enable a net-zero carbon emissions economy by 2050. The RFI is being coordinated by DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) across EERE, FE, NE, OE, and SC, and input will also be provided to other relevant offices within DOE, including the Loan Program Office, Office of Technology Transfer, Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, and Office of Economic Impact and Diversity. The information collected may be used for internal DOE planning and decision-making purposes across its research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) portfolio, including but not limited to determining potential new areas of focus and innovations, challenges/gaps, funding opportunities, analyses, regional opportunities, the potential for sustainable careers, including consideration of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and other input. This is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA); DOE is not accepting applications.
