The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded Washington State University (WSU) grant funding of $4.8 million for hydrogen fuel research, with one grant specifically focusing on building a heavy-duty hydrogen fueling station on the Pullman campus. Professors Jacob Leachman and Konstantin Matveev are leading a $3 million grant project called HYPER-Flow, which aims to create the world's first continuous liquid hydrogen flow loop for visualizing and characterizing multiphase hydrogen flow inside pipes. Furthermore, WSU is a partner in a $10 million HYPER-Fuel grant led by Plug Power, aimed at enhancing hydrogen refueling stations for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, including the construction of a fueling station in Pullman expected to be operational by mid-2026. The article highlights WSU's pivotal role in hydrogen fuel development, with additional positive sentiments from Leachman regarding the university's need for more personnel due to these grants, emphasizing the engineering opportunities that will arise. The U.S. Department of Energy announced a total of $62 million in grants for 20 hydrogen fuel projects nationwide, focusing on research, training, and testing. These grants supplement the $7 billion Hydrogen Hub investment announced in 2022, which aims to establish the infrastructure necessary for widespread hydrogen fuel utilization. The challenges associated with hydrogen fuel adoption, such as the lack of fueling stations and fuel venting issues, are addressed in the article. The HYPER-Fuel project seeks to develop technology for reliquifying hydrogen fuel, enabling its longer maintenance on-site, while the HYPER-Flow grant focuses on creating a system to visualize and characterize ultra-cold hydrogen fuel flow through pipes. WSU's involvement in the Northwest Hydrogen Hub, potentially receiving up to $1 billion in federal funding, further underscores its commitment to hydrogen infrastructure development. The article concludes by highlighting the widespread support for hydrogen technology in the Pacific Northwest and the critical role played by state and university leaders in assisting WSU in securing major grants and forming valuable partnerships for advancing hydrogen research and innovation.
