What the grant funds
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Funding Opportunity in Support of the Hydrogen Shot and a University Research Consortium on Grid Resilience,” that will address two unique areas of interest: one with topic areas focused on supporting the DOE Hydrogen Shot on behalf of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office and a second EERE-wide topic area focused on grid resilience through a university research consortium. EERE anticipates that the FOA may include the following five topics under two Areas of Interest, as follows: Area of Interest 1: Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies in Support of Hydrogen Shot Topic 1) HydroGEN: Solar Fuels from Photoelectrochemical and Solar Thermochemical Water Splitting Topic 2) Development and Validation of Sensor Technology for Monitoring and Measuring Hydrogen Losses Topic 3) Materials-based H2 Storage Demonstrations Topic 4) M2FCT: High Performing, Durable, and Low-PGM Catalysts/Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) for Medium- and Heavy-duty Applications Area of Interest 2: Improving Electricity Grid Resilience Topic 5: University Research Consortium on Grid Resilience EERE plans to issue the FOA on or about August 2022 via the EERE eXCHANGE website https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. If Applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE eXCHANGE. When the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE eXCHANGE. EERE is compiling a Teaming Partner List to facilitate the widest possible national participation in the formation of applicant teams for this potential FOA. The list allows organizations who may wish to participate in an application to express their interest to other potential applicants and to explore potential partners. The Teaming Partner List will be available on EERE Exchange at https://eere-Exchange.energy.gov under NOI number DE-FOA-0002807 until the FOA is released (after which it will be moved to the FOA application site and remain open until the close of the full application period). The Teaming Partner List will be updated at least weekly.
