Washington State University in Pullman has secured multi-million dollar grants for hydrogen fuel research. The U.S. Department of Energy granted WSU 4.8 million dollars, with Professors Leachman and Matveev leading a 3 million dollar project to develop the world’s first continuous liquid hydrogen flow loop. Additionally, a 1.8 million dollar grant will fund the construction of a hydrogen fueling station in Pullman, intended for use in research and potentially for campus and community vehicles. Dr. Leachman oversees the WSU Hydrogen Properties for Energy Research Lab, a key player in the Northwest Hydrogen Hub supported by a massive 1 billion dollars in federal funding. This influx of financial support highlights WSU's pivotal role in advancing hydrogen energy technologies and infrastructure.
