FY 2007 Financial Awards
In 2007, DOE awarded funding to a number of science and research projects to establish a hydrogen economy.
DOE Awards $100 Million for Fuel Cell R&D
Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman announced $100 million to fund 25 projects to advance the development of fuel cell technology. These projects support the President's Advanced Energy Initiative, which seeks to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy through the development and use of new clean energy technologies.
