DOE awards $34M to 19 projects to advance clean hydrogen

Green Car Congress

intends to develop a modular, sorbent-based air separation unit (ASU) for oxygen production to support low-cost hydrogen production from gasification of biomass and/or wastes. UCLA’s team will quantify the benefits and outcomes of these efforts through a combination of detailed instrumentation and internal as well as third-party verification.
