In 2007, the National Institute of Standards and Technology greatly expanded its efforts in support of the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Various NIST divisions have started projects on measurement needs in meeting of flow rates, storage, and other standardization issues. Our Materials Reliability division has focused on the problems with hydrogen embrittlement of conventional pipeline and storage-vessel materials (mostly steels). Our first step was to hold a workshop to help us rank the various needs and then use these data to plan and construct an appropriate test facility.

Hydrogen storage is widely recognized as a critical enabling technology for the successful commercialization and market acceptance of hydrogen powered vehicles. Storing sufficient hydrogen on-board a wide range of vehicle platforms, while meeting all consumer requirements (driving range, cost, safety, performance, etc.), without compromising passenger or cargo space, is a tremendous technical challenge. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in collaboration with automotive industry partners, established specific technical targets for on-board hydrogen storage systems to focus R&D and to stimulate research on hydrogen storage. In order to achieve these long-term targets, DOE launched a ''Grand Challenge'' to the scientific community in 2003. Based on a competitively selected portfolio, DOE established a ''National Hydrogen Storage Project'' in the U.S. for R&D in the areas of advanced metal hydrides, chemical hydrogen storage, carbon-based and high surface area sorbent materials, as well as new materials and concepts. The current status of vehicular hydrogen storage is reviewed and research associated with the National Hydrogen Storage Project is discussed. Future DOE plans through the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy (IPHE) are also presented.
R&D Programs for Hydrogen: US and EU
Security of Energy Supply in Europe, 2010
The possibility of a future economy based on H 2 and fuel cells is both promising and uncertain. As a consequence, in the US and in the EU significant actions, with similarities as well as differences, related to hydrogen R&D are being undertaken. Efforts are focused in both cases primarily on applied research, development and demonstration. Some striking differences result from the leading role of the Department of Energy (DOE) in the US, as opposed to the more unstructured, nation-based approach in the EU. R&D activities conducted both in America and Europe are reviewed and compared, and some tentative conclusions are advanced.
The future is bright for hydrogen as a clean, mobile energy source to replace petroleum products. This paper examines new and emerging technologies for hydrogen production, storage and conversion and highlights recent commercialization efforts to realize its potential. Also, the paper presents selected notable patents issued within the last few years. There is no shortage of inventions and innovations in hydrogen technologies in both academia and industry. While metal hydrides and functionalized carbon-based materials have improved tremendously as hydrogen storage materials over the years, storing gaseous hydrogen in underground salt caverns has also become feasible in many commercial projects. Production of "blue hydrogen" is rising as a method of producing hydrogen in large quantities economically. Although electric/battery powered vehicles are dominating the green transport today, innovative hydrogen fuel cell technologies are knocking at the door, because of their lower refueling time compared to EV charging time. However, the highest impact of hydrogen technologies in transportation might be seen in the aviation industry. Hydrogen is expected to play a key role and provides hope in transforming aviation into a zero-carbon emission transportation over the next few decades.
