7.6. DOE Supported R&D for Production of Hydrogen

DOE continues to support projects to help develop technologies for affordable and competitive clean hydrogen (H₂) or high H₂ syngas production from solid feedstocks, consistent with use of the H₂ or syngas in applications needed for a decarbonized economy including sustainable fuels, hydrogen for transportation, and beyond. These projects include the development of novel gasification technologies including catalytic and microwave gasification, advanced separation materials & methods, innovative use of biomass and waste materials as gasification feedstocks, and the development of technological approaches that consolidate multiple processing steps into a single step to reduce overall project costs—i.e., process intensification. Relevant projects can be found listed at Gasification Systems program pages:

•    Projects in the Process Intensification for Syngas & Hydrogen key technology area
•    Projects in the Clean Hydrogen & Negative CO₂ Emissions key technology area
