Compendium: Surveys Evaluating Knowledge and Opinions of Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies

The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program is to reduce oil use and carbon emissions in the transportation sector and to enable clean, reliable energy for stationary and portable power generation. The Program seeks to accomplish this mission by supporting a comprehensive and focused portfolio of research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) activities that address barriers to producing, storing, delivering, and using hydrogen in an efficient, clean, safe, reliable, and affordable manner. While RD&D is DOE's central mission, technology development alone is not a sufficient condition for commercialization. Other factors, such as regulatory status, market acceptance, level of consumer awareness, supplier manufacturing capabilities, and existing policies and incentives will play a big role in whether or not companies choose to go forward with commercialization. To address these factors, DOE conducts underlying safety research, facilitates and coordinates the activities of codes and standards development organizations, supports efforts in market transformation, and conducts public outreach and education activities.
