The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s (FECM’s) Hydrogen with Carbon Management Program invests in research, development, and demonstration to advance carbon-based clean hydrogen production coupled to carbon capture and storage. The Program also focuses on the development of technologies to use clean hydrogen from any source.
The mission of FECM’s Hydrogen with Carbon Management Program is to accelerate the production of clean hydrogen in support of achieving net-zero emissions by:
- Leveraging innovative, lower-cost approaches to producing clean hydrogen with carbon capture and storage from a range of feedstocks, including municipal solid waste, legacy coal waste, waste plastics, and biomass; and
- Developing gas turbine combustion systems to accommodate hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas fuel blends while minimizing nitrogen oxide emissions and maintaining efficiency.
FECM works to achieve these goals through engagement with industry, academia, technology developers, nongovernmental organizations, communities, and other stakeholders.
Programs and Initiatives
HYDROGEN SHOT
FECM’s Hydrogen with Carbon Management Program plays an integral role in one of DOE’s Energy Earthshot Initiatives, the Hydrogen Shot, which seeks to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production by 80% to $1 per 1 kilogram in one decade to expand new, clean hydrogen pathways in the United States.
