The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has allocated $8.8 million for 11 university-based research and development projects aimed at enhancing the performance of hydrogen-fueled turbines. These initiatives support the Biden-Harris Administration's goals of achieving 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. The selected projects will focus on developing advanced materials and components to withstand the extreme conditions generated during hydrogen combustion in gas turbines, enabling the utilization of clean hydrogen for power generation. Six funding recipients will conduct fundamental materials research to enhance hot gas path component design in gas turbines using hydrogen-containing fuels. Additionally, one recipient will concentrate on applied research for turbine hot gas path components, while four others will work on understanding the risks associated with material fatigue and stresses in rotating detonation engines operating on hydrogen fuels. The projects are managed by DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory under the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management. Since 2021, FECM has invested approximately $147 million in projects focusing on new clean methods for hydrogen production and improving the performance of hydrogen-fueled turbines. These efforts are part of the Hydrogen Shot initiative, which aims to significantly reduce the cost of clean hydrogen and pave the way for new hydrogen pathways in the United States. FECM's broader mission includes reducing environmental and climate impacts from fossil fuels and industrial processes, with a focus on achieving net-zero emissions across the U.S. economy. Their priority technology areas include carbon capture, carbon conversion, hydrogen production, methane emissions reduction, and more.
