Heavier/ crude oil feeds to H2 production. (including distributed production in station).
In-situ H2 production (in reservoirs)
Hydrocarbon pyrolysis (to produce H2 and carbon)
Next-generation reactor design and integration
Manufacturing of Pd alloy dense membranes for low carbon hydrogen generation
Improve CO2 capture and utilization pathways associated with H2 production
Improve H2 international transport, including options such as ammonia
H2 storage as large-scale energy storage vector
Improve hydrogen storage materials and systems for mobility (improve compression requirements at H2 filling stations, i.e., reduce cost of filling)
Explore system-level integration opportunities of H2 in hybrid energy systems
Improve H2 utilization (e.g., turbine and boiler burners)
Address cross-cutting themes/objectives (e.g., Techno-economics & LCA studies, Safety and engineering standards of H2 systems, CCS …)
