About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) is issuing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Advanced Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies to Drive National Goals". This NOFO seeks applications for research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects that support the goals of the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, the Hydrogen Energy EarthshotTM, and the H2@Scale Initiative. The NOFO is divided into two parts, with Part 1 outlining the specific programmatic goals, topic areas, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria, and Part 2 containing the standard application, post-selection, and post-award requirements.
The total available funding is up to $46 million, with individual award amounts ranging from $1 million to $10 million, depending on the topic. The applications are due by January 31, 2025, and awards are anticipated to be made in September 2025. The NOFO is funded under the Renewable Energy Research and Development grant program (CFDA 81.087), and work is expected to be performed within the United States.
Synopsis
Advanced Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies to Drive National Goals The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) DE-FOA-0003439 on behalf of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), which coordinates hydrogen activities with offices across the Department of Energy (DOE) as described in the DOE Hydrogen Program Plan. These activities align with EERE's mission, the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, and other DOE initiatives as described below. The research, development, and demonstration activities to be funded under this NOFO support: - The U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap's "whole-of-government" approach to addressing the challenges facing clean hydrogen and drive innovation leading to the deployment of clean energy technologies that are critical for emissions reduction. - Enabling increased adoption of clean hydrogen across critical sectors, including heavy-duty vehicles, supporting the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization. - The goals of the Hydrogen Energy EarthshotTM targeting affordable, clean hydrogen production at $1/kg by 2031. - The H2@Scale Initiative aiming to advance affordable hydrogen production, transport, storage, and utilization to enable decarbonization and revenue opportunities across multiple sectors. The NOFO is separated into two parts to help applicants focus on the application requirements and review criteria in Part 1, with the full inventory of application, post-selection, and post-award requirements available in Part 2. The two-part NOFO is anticipated to simplify the application process and improve access to EERE funding opportunities from a more diverse applicant pool. DE-FOA-0003439_NOFO_Part_One includes specific programmatic goals, topic descriptions, eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, and other components specific to this NOFO. DE-FOA-0003439_NOFO_Part_Two includes standard information for the application phase and describes expectations for award negotiations and post-award requirements for selected applications. Applicants should review both the NOFO Part 1 and the NOFO Part 2 prior to applying.
