The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $1 million grant to advance clean energy technologies. The project is led by Dr. Xiao-Dong Zhou, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Institute for Materials Research and Innovation and Dr. Chee-Hung Henry Chu, Professor, School of Computing & Informatics and Executive Director, Informatics Research Institute who serves as the Co-PI.
Supported by Senator Bill Cassidy, a member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, the grant will fund the research team in developing high-performance metal-supported solid oxide electrolysis cells and innovative diagnostic methodologies to achieve net-zero or negative emissions.
This is one of 31 projects using the nation’s fossil fuel and power infrastructure for decarbonized energy and commodity production through the development of technologies for the production, transport, storage, and utilization of fossil-based hydrogen.
