Assessment of Heavy-Duty Fueling Methods and Components

Building on the successful commissioning and demonstration of NREL's heavy-duty (HD) fast flow research facility under the Innovating Hydrogen Station's Project, researchers advanced R&D activities to the next phase under a new project titled, Assessment of Heavy-Duty Fueling Methods and Components. This Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) is led by NREL in partnership with NextEnergy, Argonne National Laboratory, and Chevron with NextEnergy representing a larger group of industry partners that includes AirLiquide, Hyundai, Nel, Nikola, Shell, and Toyota. The CRADA seeks to develop a comprehensive assessment of HD fuel cell electric vehicle fueling protocols and fueling hardware to understand the effects of fueling protocol architectures on station design, vehicle design, functional safety requirements, and the implications on the total cost of ownership (TCO) and techno economic assessment (TEA).

H2@Scale CRADA: CA Research Consort. (Ref. Station, Fueling Perf. Test Device, Station Cap Model)

In support of DOE's H2@Scale initiative, this project leverages with national lab capabilities at SNL, NREL, and ANL with collaboration and funding cost share from California agencies (CEC, South Coast AQMD, and GO-Biz) to enable the build-out of heavy-duty (HD) hydrogen fueling stations with large dispensing capacity and high flow rates by providing tools and information that lead to more efficient design, acceptance, and commissioning. In this presentation, we describe the progress as related to the subtasks of: HD Reference Station Design, HD Station Test Device Design, and the Station Capacity Model.

Electrolyzer Supply Chain Readiness Level (SCRL)

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) is revitalizing the U.S. manufacturing base with over $20 billion of direct investment in manufacturing capacity, industrial decarbonization, and workforce development. This work will provide guidance to MESC and other government organizations as to which supply chain components to invest in to reduce material vulnerability for hydrogen electrolyzers as part of the Modeling, Mapping, and Analysis (MMAC) Consortium.

Heavy-Duty Hydrogen Fueling Station Corridors

In this short technical report, we explore the range of levelized costs of dispensed hydrogen (H2) from hydrogen refueling (or fueling) stations (HRS) for H2 heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) that are feasible in the 2030 timeframe. We explore different scenarios by varying hydrogen delivery distances, HRS sizes, HRS utilization rates, and economies of scale in the Hydrogen Delivery Scenario Analysis Model (HDSAM). Thus, we observe how the contribution to the levelized cost of each supply chain component changes.

Detection and Quantitation of Hydrogen Emissions Role and Status of Detection Technology

Hydrogen is a critical strategy to decarbonize energy and manufacturing industries. Hydrogen is nontoxic and can be handled safely, but potential for secondary greenhouse impacts. Hydrogen releases arise from a variety of mechanisms (process, design features, "leaks") that contribute to total hydrogen releases. Detection methodologies will be critical to detect and quantify hydrogen emissions. Detection is to be integrated with advanced analytics (AI) and behavior modelling to effectively identify, quantify, and source locate hydrogen releases. Modelling of emissions will contribute to facility safety and reliability. DOE is committed to develop the tools to model and mitigate the impact of hydrogen releases which include: Support modeling to elucidate released hydrogen degradation; Support the development of tools for emissions quantitation; and Support engineering advancements to minimize hydrogen losses along the value chain (including process, design features, and leaks).
