This federal Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding of $5,327,085, was provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) through the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The goal of the project is to develop novel membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) with thin selective transport layers to meet DOE performance and durability targets for heavy-duty fuel cells. Specifically, the project aims to achieve an end-of-life power density of 2.5 kW/g Pt with a total precious metal loading of 0.30 mg/cm2, after 25,000 hours of equivalent operation. The recipient, General Motors LLC, will leverage its expertise in automotive and energy technology to advance fuel cell system development and support national goals for reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency in the transportation sector.
