​Advances in Fuel Cells Technologies and Applications (2025 Program)

​​Fuel cells technology has made recent advances which include considerable improvements in design, materials, economy of scale, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. These advances have enabled broad business use cases and applications in transportation, stationary power generation, portable power, maritime industry, and aviation. Some of the key areas of progress focus on improved membrane materials, optimized catalyst designs, advanced electrode structures, and potential integration with intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaics and wind power. These major advances allow for more sustainable energy production, with zero-carbon and zero-greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across various sectors and industries. This specifically includes the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) for cleaner transportation and large-scale stationary power generation systems for the electric utility grid stability.

Advances in Battery Energy Storage Systems (2024 Program)

Advances in battery energy storage systems (BESS) are growing in importance with continual technological improvements and declining costs of leading battery chemistries such as lithium-ion, vanadium redox, sodium-sulfur, and others. This includes improvements with new chemistries boosting performance. BESS units play an essential role via increased integration with power supply sources with zero-greenhouse gas and zero-carbon emissions such as intermittent renewable power sources (e.g., solar PV and wind) and advances in dispatchable baseload commercial nuclear power (e.g., small modular reactors). This report discusses the viable pathways for BESS units, evaluates the status of commercially advanced battery technologies and applications, and reviews the methodologies for determining the costs and techno-economics of BESS technologies, systems, and projects. The report also provides detailed case studies along with an overview of technology types, their rated output, project status, siting and location, ownership, supply/value chain partners, cost, performance, benefits, and any other relevant data and information.

Key Pathways for Red, Purple, and Pink Hydrogen (2024 Program)

​​Red, purple, and pink hydrogen provide key tangible, feasible, and viable pathways towards definitive global and regional decarbonization of supply/value chains with zero greenhouse gas emissions. Also, as part of an optimal energy mix, this includes, but is not limited to, being an effective energy carrier for fuels, feedstocks, and production of downstream chemicals. In addition, red, purple, and pink hydrogen can provide enhanced reliability, resilience, and availability of baseload and peaking supply of electricity and hydrogen for wholesale and retail end-customers. Commercially advanced technologies via small modular reactors and proven processes via electrolysis and thermolysis are paving the way forward.​

Processing Challenges of Renewable Feedstocks (2024 Program)

This report provides an overview of the challenges associated with the use of renewable feedstocks for producing biofuels, chemicals, and heat or power. These challenges are often related to the inherent properties of the feedstock, requiring pre-treatment before it can be used directly in existing processes. The necessary pre-treatment processes for converting the renewable feedstocks are discussed. The report also summarizes the technology readiness levels (TRL) of the renewable feedstocks and the corresponding cost of pre-treatment.
