SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2007 the Energy Independence and Security
Act authorized the H-Prize to competitively award prizes for advances
in hydrogen energy technologies in order to accelerate and reward
breakthroughs in notable scientific and engineering challenges, while
engaging a broad range of participants. The $1 million H2 Refuel H-
Prize challenges America's engineers and entrepreneurs to develop
affordable systems for small-scale, non-commercial hydrogen fueling, at
homes or multi-use sites that can supplement the current development of
hydrogen fueling station infrastructure. Successful entries will
install and test systems that generate hydrogen from resources
available to most homes, electricity and natural gas, and dispense the
hydrogen into vehicles. Winners will demonstrate that they can meet
both the technical and cost criteria as outlined in the final
guidelines.
Today's notice announces the availability of draft guidelines for
administration of the prize competition.
The DOE will consider any comments received within 30 days of the
Federal Register Notice publication date.
Issued in Golden, CO, on March 12, 2014.
