The eXtremeMAT-H2 consortium, led by NETL, convened top engineers and industry representatives to discuss accelerating the development of alloys that can endure long-term exposure to hydrogen in high-temperature environments. The meeting, held biannually, gathered input from various sectors utilizing hydrogen in their operations. With hydrogen playing a key role in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, industry stakeholders emphasized the importance of addressing materials-related challenges associated with hydrogen use. The event highlighted the significance of understanding the impact of hydrogen on alloy performance at elevated temperatures to ensure the durability of components in hydrogen systems. One of the key focuses of the consortium is the development of computational tools that enhance the design of cost-effective and reliable alloys for hydrogen applications. These tools enable better predictive capabilities, reducing design time and costs while improving the accuracy of alloy performance assessments. By studying the relationship between alloy chemistry, microstructure, and properties in hydrogen environments, the consortium aims to design alloys that are more resistant to failure when exposed to hydrogen-containing conditions. David Alman, associate director of Materials Engineering and Manufacturing at NETL, underscored the importance of better alloys for the successful transition to clean hydrogen in sectors like power generation, transportation, and industrial heating. The collaboration among national laboratories in the consortium, including Ames, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Sandia, demonstrates a concerted effort to drive innovation in creating materials that can withstand the demands of hydrogen-based systems. Through their research and development initiatives, the consortium aims to support the nation's goal of achieving a sustainable energy future while reducing greenhouse gas emissions for a cleaner environment.
