$6.4M for hydrogen

fuels projects announced

The Energy Department’s (DOE’s) Ofce of Fossil

Energy recently released a funding opportunity

announcement for the University Turbine Systems

Research (UTSR) Program focusing on hydrogen

fuels. Successful applications will address and

resolve fundamental scientic challenges and

applied engineering technology issues associated

with advancing the performance and efciency of

combustion turbines fueled with pure hydrogen,

hydrogen and natural gas mixtures, and other

carbon-free hydrogen-containing fuels in combined-

and simple-cycle applications, DOE said.

According to the solicitation, DOE seeks research

in the following three areas of interest (AOIs):

• AOI 1—Hydrogen Combustion Fundamentals

for Gas Turbines aims to further the technical

understanding of fundamental combustion phenom-

ena of hydrogen-containing fuels over a broad range

of fuel compositions and combustion conditions.

• AOI 2—Hydrogen Combustion Applications

for Gas Turbines seeks to develop a technical

understanding of applied hydrogen containing fuel

combustion phenomena under gas turbine condi-

tions.

• AOI 3—Hydrogen-Air Rotating Detonation

Engines (RDEs) has two main focus areas related

to RDE combustion and ultimate integration with

turbomachinery for the purpose of terrestrial-based

power generation while operating on a broad range

of hydrogen-based fuels to include pure hydrogen

and hydrogen/natural gas mixtures in air.

Total funding for the solicitation is $6.4 million

for up to eight awards for projects of up to 36

months in duration. A 20 percent match is required.

Eligible entities include colleges and universities

and university-afliated research institutions.

DOE said the UTSR Program encompasses a

portfolio of gas turbine–focused university projects,

which address a wide variety of technical topics by

conducting cutting-edge research and development.
