The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program, awarded a $4,984,609 cooperative agreement to the Institute of Gas Technology (doing business as GTI Energy), a non-profit research organization. The project, set to run from January 2025 to January 2027, aims to establish a viable pathway to produce net-zero hydrogen at a cost of $1 per kilogram through the development and pilot demonstration of a novel feedforward gasifier feed control system. This system is designed to maximize the effective syngas yield and clean hydrogen yield from the conversion of mixed biomass and waste feedstocks, in support of the DOE's Hydrogen Energy Earthshot initiative. The project objectives include developing and testing this advanced gasification technology to contribute to the DOE's goals of minimizing the environmental impacts of fossil fuels and transitioning to a net-zero carbon economy.
