The University of Houston System was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The grant aims to demonstrate the potential for repurposing existing infrastructure to provide profitable zero-emission transportation fueled by low carbon intensity hydrogen in the greater Houston area.

The project will have two phases. The first phase will evaluate the environmental and community risks of a proposed hydrogen refueling pilot, including conducting a life cycle assessment and quantitative risk analysis. The second phase will establish a workforce training network and develop stakeholder support for a hydrogen refueling demonstration in the Houston region. A sub-award of an unspecified amount was made to Prairie View A&M University to perform the environmental and community risk assessment as part of the first project phase.
