RTI Awarded DOE Grant for Hydrogen Fuel Storage Technology

Fuel Cells Today, March 21, 2005

RTI International recently announced it has been awarded $1.6 million from the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop hydrogen fuel storage technology capable of providing a "stable and recyclable hydrogen source" for fuel cell vehicles.

According to RTI, the four-year project looks to design an on-board fuel system for hydrogen-powered vehicles as well as develop a cost-effective manufacturing process for recycling the storage material once the hydrogen content is depleted.

RTI said project collaborators include the State Scientific Research Center of the Russian Federation, which will provide expertise in the synthesis of the basic storage material, and ATK/Thiokol of Utah, which will provide industry support for production processes that could lead to commercial use.
