Hydrogen refueling station boil-off venting utilization demonstration

The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $206,409 Project Grant to Special Power Sources LLC, a minority-owned, veteran-owned small business located in Alliance, Ohio. The grant, titled "HYDROGEN REFUELING STATION BOIL-OFF VENTING UTILIZATION DEMONSTRATION," supports research and development of advanced fuel cell technologies for hydrogen refueling station applications. This award is part of the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), which funds innovative, hypothesis-driven scientific research to advance U.S. energy, economic, and national security priorities. The project aims to explore methods for improving the energy efficiency and environmental impact of hydrogen refueling stations, specifically by developing technologies to capture and utilize the boil-off venting from these facilities. The grant has a performance period from July 2024 to April 2025 and involves collaboration with academic institutions on advancing fuel cell research and technology transition.
