The Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program website offers a portal to information about the Department of Energy's research and development in hydrogen production, delivery, storage, and fuel cells, as well as activities in technology validation, systems analysis and integration, safety codes and standards, and education.

FCH JU Joint undertaking 

The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is a unique public private partnership supporting research, technological development and demonstration (RTD) activities in fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe. Its aim is to accelerate the market introduction of these technologies, realizing their potential as an instrument in achieving a carbon-lean energy system.

Fuel cells, as an efficient conversion technology, and hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, have a great potential to help fight carbon dioxide emissions, to reduce dependence on hydrocarbons and to contribute to economic growth. The objective of the FCH JU is to bring these benefits to Europeans through a concentrated effort from all sectors.

The three members of the FCH JU are the European Commission, fuel cell and hydrogen industries represented by the NEW Industry Grouping and the research community represented by Research Grouping N.ERGHY.

The Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Full story.

The Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center, commonly known as the AFDC, is a comprehensive clearinghouse of information related to advanced transportation technologies.

Provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities initiative and technically administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the AFDC offers transportation decision makers a collection of unbiased alternative fuel information, publications, data, and tools. These resources help AFDC visitors understand the benefits, challenges, and opportunities involved in reducing petroleum consumption using more efficient, domestic, and cleaner transportation options. Clean Cities stakeholders and fleets covered under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 share this goal and regularly use the information offered in the AFDC.
