East Tennessee Hydrogen Initiative - Knoxville

The primary objective of the project is to conduct research that will directly relate to the potential development of technologies that will enhance the ability to utilize hydrogen-based technologies for fueling of vehicles, including light duty as well as heavier duty vehicles utilized in transit operations. Many issues still remain with respect to all aspects of hydrogen, including storage, safety issues, on-board fuel cell/engine technology, as well as hydrogen infrastructure (centralized versus decentralized production of hydrogen and hydrogen delivery). The three tasks undertaken with the assistance of this Cooperative Agreement will directly apply to these issues.
