New York launches US$10M green hydrogen R&D, demonstration initiative.
The aim of the initiaitve is to find ways to use green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in hard-to-electrify sectors.
The state is seeking proposals based on the use of clean hydrogen produced using renewable energy such as offshore wind and solar; hydrogen applications to decarbonize industrial processes; technology that can mitigate nitrogen oxides in hydrogen combustion; and proposals for hydrogen storage technologies, including bulk storage and storage in limited footprint areas.
The solicitation is open to fund projects proposed by New York-based entities that are also actively applying for federal clean hydrogen funding opportunities. Successful awards will be contingent upon securing federal funding.
Governor Hochul said:
Investing in clean hydrogen is the latest example of New York’s commitment to exploring all technologies and avenues to transition to clean energy economy-wide.
“We are taking action to transition even the hardest-to-electrify sectors, helping secure a healthy and sustainable future for all New Yorkers.”
The initiative, administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), will operate in tandem with New York State’s overall advancement of a clean hydrogen ecosystem which includes the Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (NE Hub).
Applications will be accepted through 28 June 2023. Along with NYSERDA proposal documents, proposers are required to submit their federal concept paper for evaluation by NYSERDA.
