The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Oregon State University to develop a scalable and efficient hybrid microbial electrochemical reactor for hydrogen recovery from lignocellulosic biomass and wastewater. Development, fabrication, and evaluation of electrode materials would occur at DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington and Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. Development, fabrication, and evaluation of the reactors would mainly occur on the main campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Any work proposed to be conducted at a federal facility may be subject to additional NEPA review by the cognizant federal official and must meet the applicable health and safety requirements of the facility.
