H2Gen recognised for developing low-cost hydrogen generator

The US Department of Energy (DOE) presented H2Gen Innovations with a ‘DOE Hydrogen Program R&D Award’ at its annual Hydrogen Peer Review Meeting in Crystal City, Virginia on May 16. This award, ‘In recognition of Outstanding Achievement in Technology Innovation’, stems from H2Gen's development of hydrogen generation technology that is expected to meet the DOE hydrogen cost target of $2.50/gallon of gasoline on an energy equivalent basis by 2010.

H2Gen manufactures and sells hydrogen generators that convert natural gas to hydrogen at the point of use, eliminating the cost of transporting hydrogen, and eliminating the need for installing a hydrogen pipeline system. DOE awarded a multi-year, cost-shared contract to H2Gen in 2005 to scale up their generator and also to reduce equipment costs so that hydrogen could be produced at a gas station, and, when utilized in a fuel cell vehicle, would result in a cost per mile driven that would be no more than a conventional gasoline vehicle. The DOE contract also funds experimental work to produce hydrogen from ethanol, opening up the potential of low-cost renewable hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles.
