U.S. Department of Energy High-Temperature Electrolysis (HTE) Manufacturing Workshop

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) and the Hydrogen from Next-generation Electrolyzers of Water (H2NEW) consortium will host the High-Temperature Electrolysis Manufacturing workshop on March 8–9, 2022 in support of the Hydrogen Energy Earthshot to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen by 80% and the Clean Hydrogen Electrolysis Program established under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

This workshop will bring together leading high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) manufacturing experts from industry, national laboratories, and academia to present high-volume manufacturing status, barriers and opportunities, electrolysis stack manufacturing costs and technoeconomic analysis, and shared learnings for achieving high volume stack, component, and system manufacturing.

In addition, there will be in-depth discussions on a range of topics, including critical HTE manufacturing processes, quality assurance/quality control, advanced manufacturing techniques, supply chain, scaling and throughput, and component and stack manufacturing. This workshop will emphasize developing advanced HTE stack manufacturing technologies to achieve $2/kg hydrogen by 2026 and paving the way towards meeting the Hydrogen Shot goal of $1 per 1 kilogram in one decade.
