'''Electrolysis and Manufacturing & Recycling Programs''' are initiatives by the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) to lower the cost of clean hydrogen production via electrolysis and to advance the manufacturing and recycling of hydrogen technologies. These programs are designed to support the transition to clean energy by making hydrogen production more affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/electrolysis-manufacturing-recycling-programs |title=Electrolysis and Manufacturing & Recycling Programs |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/electrolysis-manufacturing-recycling-programs}} ==Goals== * Reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production to less than $2 per kilogram by 2026.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/electrolysis-manufacturing-recycling-programs |title=Electrolysis and Manufacturing & Recycling Programs |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> * Improve manufacturing technologies for hydrogen production, storage, and use equipment. * Establish sustainable recycling practices for fuel cells and electrolyzers. ==Organization== These programs are managed by the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office under the [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]] (EERE) within the U.S. Department of Energy. They are overseen by program managers who coordinate with national labs, industry, and academia. Funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocations. The leader of the program holds the title/position of Program Manager for Electrolysis and Manufacturing & Recycling at HFTO. ==Partners== * No specific partnerships are listed, but the programs engage with a wide range of stakeholders, including national labs, industry, and academic institutions. ==History== Established under the **Bipartisan Infrastructure Law** in 2021, these programs were launched to address critical barriers to the widespread adoption of hydrogen technologies. They build on previous DOE efforts in hydrogen research, with a significant expansion in scope and funding. Key developments include the announcement of funding opportunities in 2022 and subsequent selections for projects aimed at electrolyzer technology, manufacturing improvements, and recycling solutions. ==Funding== The programs were initially funded with $1.5 billion for projects focused on electrolysis, manufacturing, and recycling.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/articles/doe-announces-15-billion-funding-opportunity-electrolysis-manufacturing-and |title=DOE Announces $1.5 Billion Funding Opportunity for Electrolysis, Manufacturing, and Recycling |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> This funding supports various activities from research to demonstration, with the expectation that funds will be expended by September 30, 2026. ==Implementation== Implementation involves: * Funding competitive projects through solicitations. * Supporting research, development, and demonstration (RDD&D) activities. * Monitoring and evaluating project outcomes for cost reduction and environmental impact. The programs are set to conclude when funds are expended or by the end of FY 2026, whichever comes first. ==Related== * [[Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office]] * [[Bipartisan Infrastructure Law]] ==External links== * https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/electrolysis-manufacturing-recycling-programs * wikipedia:Electrolysis and Manufacturing & Recycling Programs ===Social media=== * No specific social media accounts for these programs; follow the Department of Energy for updates. ==References== [[Category:Programs and initiatives]] [[Category:Programs]] [[Category:Department of Energy]]
