Hydrogen, Fuel Cells and Infrastructure Technologies Program

Financial Opportunities

DOE's Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies Program selects research and development (R&D) and other projects through open and competitive procurements. Notices of the program's active solicitations and related opportunities offered by other DOE programs, as well as links to funding opportunities provided by other agencies are posted here.

Safety Plan Guidance for All New Program-Funded Hydrogen Projects

All DOE-funded proposals for hydrogen-related solicitations must include a preliminary safety plan, and all funded projects must complete a more detailed safety plan as part of the project. For details, see Safety Planning Guidance for Hydrogen Projects (PDF 1 MB), revised November 2007. Download Adobe Reader.
