據世界天然氣網站7月8日消息 美國能源部（DOE）將向下一代清潔氫技術項目撥款5250萬美元。

　　氫是一種清潔燃料，在燃料電池中與氧結合時，水和熱作為副產品產生電能。氫可以由多種資源生產，如天然氣、核能、生物質和可再生能源，如太陽能和風能。

　　能源部表示，將為31個項目提供資金，這些項目將側重于彌合氫生產、儲存、分配和利用技術（包括燃料電池）方面的技術差距。

　　這些項目是為了支持能源部的Hydrogen Energy Earthshot計劃，該計劃旨在降低成本，加速清潔氫氣領域的突破。

　　資金包括能源部能源效率和可再生能源辦公室（EERE）的3600萬美元和化石能源和碳管理辦公室（FECM）的1650萬美元。

　　DOE to accelerate hydrogen projects with $52.5M

　　The US Department of Energy (DOE) will grant $52.5 million to projects of next-generation clean hydrogen technologies.

　　Hydrogen is a clean fuel that produces electricity with water and heat as by-products when combined with oxygen in a fuel cell. It can be produced from a variety of resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind.

　　DOE said it will fund 31 projects. These projects will focus on bridging technical gaps in hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and utilisation technologies, including fuel cells.

　　The projects are to support DOE’s Hydrogen Energy Earthshot initiative that wants to reduce the cost and accelerate breakthroughs in the clean hydrogen sector.

　　The funding includes $36 million from the Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and $16.5 million from the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM).
