DOE issues $10M incubator FOA for batteries, power electronics, engines, materials, fuels and lubricants

Green Car Congress

Incubator programs allow DOE to assess new technologies for potential to be on-ramped to future MYPPs. Sample topic areas that might address one or more of these barriers include: Novel cell, module or pack designs that significantly improve the thermal or safety performance, or significantly reduce the weight, volume, and cost of non?

DOE issues RFI for hydrogen delivery R&D, targeting cost of $2-4 gge

Green Car Congress

The RFI is not a funding opportunity announcement, although DOE said it may issue such an FOA in the future. Significant cost reductions can be achieved through high-volume production; panelists estimated that a 70% reduction in compressor capital cost is possible from a three-order-of-magnitude increase in production demand.
