The U.S. Department of Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, held a virtual Manufacturing Automation and Recycling for Clean Hydrogen Technologies Experts Meeting on May 24–26, 2022. This experts meeting invited stakeholders to help assess research, development, and demonstration needs and set targets and strategies for clean hydrogen manufacturing and recycling efforts initiated by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
This meeting focused on identifying opportunities (e.g., technology advancement, cost reduction, environmental impact mitigation) for domestic manufacturing of proton exchange membrane (PEM) and solid oxide fuel cells and accompanying systems (including carbon fiber composite storage tanks for hydrogen) through process automation, as well as for their end-of-life remanufacturing and recycling.
