U.S. Department of Energy Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Perspectives
T
oday the technology around generating efficient and sustainable energy is rapidly evolving and hydrogen and fuel cells
are versatile examples within a portfolio of options. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy’s Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) addresses key technical barriers faced by hydrogen and fuel
cell technologies through a comprehensive portfolio of early-stage research and development (R&D) with the potential to
meet DOE technical, economic and energy security targets that ensure competitiveness with incumbent technologies in the
market and alignment with national priorities. This presentation will provide an overview of DOE FCTO early-stage R&D
activities in hydrogen and fuel cells, highlight technology status versus targets and identify recent achievements and market
trends. The presentation will also offer insight into future prospects of hydrogen and fuel cells to enable energy security and
resiliency across the transportation and energy generation sectors. Examples include the value proposition of hydrogen and
fuel cell technologies as well as the potential of DOE’s H2@Scale concept to utilize hydrogen as a large-scale energy carrier
to enable benefits across multiple sectors. Supporting foundational materials research in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies
being conducted through FCTO’s Energy Materials Network Consortia will also be described.
Biography
Dr. Eric L. Miller serves as Hydrogen Production and Delivery Program Manager at the Fuel Cell Technologies Office of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office
of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. His professional career in alternative energy research has spanned more than 25 years, centering on solar energy
conversion and on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. He is widely recognized as a world leader in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production for his pioneering
research in this field. Recently, Dr. Miller has played an instrumental role in the launch and management of DOE’s Energy Materials Network, which aims to
accelerate materials discovery and development critical to a broad spectrum of key clean energy technologies.
