THE ATLANTIS PROGRAM SEEKS TO DEVELOP NEW TECHNICAL PATHWAYS FOR THE DESIGN OF ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES (FOWT). THE PROGRAM URGES THE APPLICATION OF CONTROL CO-
DESIGN (CCD) METHODOLOGIES THAT (1) BRING TOGETHER ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES TO WORK CONCURRENTLY, AS OPPOSED TO SEQUENTIALLY, AND (2) CONSIDER CONTROL-ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES FROM THE START OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. BY ANALYZING THE NUMEROUS SUB-SYSTEM DYNAMIC INTERACTIONS THAT COMPRISE THE FOWTS, CCD METHODOLOGIES CAN PROPOSE CONTROL SOLUTIONS THAT ENABLE OPTIMAL FOWT DESIGNS THAT ARE NOT ACHIEVABLE OTHERWISE. DESIGN OPTIMIZATION IS DEFINED HERE AS THE MAXIMIZATION OF THE SPECIFIC SWEPT-ROTOR-AREA PER UNIT OF TOTAL-MASS (M2/KG) OF THE FOWT FOR A GIVEN POWER GENERATION EFFICIENCY. THE PROGRAM OFFERS A NEW METRIC SPACE THAT QUANTIFIES THIS SPECIFIC AREA PER UNIT OF MASS AND THE AIR-TO-ELECTRON POWER GENERATION EFFICIENCY OF THE FOWT, AND GUIDES THE RESEARCH TO NAVIGATE ACROSS LCOE (LEVELIZED COST OF ENERGY) CONTOURS OF CONSTANT VALUE OR ISOLINES PROJECTS IN THIS PROGRAM WILL COVER THREE FUNDAMENTAL AREAS: (1) RADICALLY NEW FOWT DESIGNS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER MASS/AREA, (2) A NEW GENERATION OF COMPUTER TOOLS TO FACILITATE CONTROL CO-DESIGN OF THE FOWTS, AND (3) GENERATION OF REAL-DATA FROM FULL AND LAB-SCALE EXPERIMENTS TO VALIDATE THE FOWT DESIGNS AND COMPUTER TOOLS. THE PROGRAM STRUCTURE INCLUDES THESE THREE FUNDAMENTAL AREAS IN TWO PHASES. PHASE I, DESCRIBED BY THIS DOCUMENT, IS EXPECTED TO COVER THE FIRST TWO YEARS WITH AN ANTICIPATED $28M IN FUNDED PROJECTS. BASED ON THE RESULTS ACHIEVED IN THIS FIRST PHASE, A SECOND PHASE, SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF APPROPRIATED FUNDS, IS TENTATIVELY PLANNED TO BE ANNOUNCED FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS, WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO CONTINUE THE RESEARCH IN THE THREE FUNDAMENTAL AREAS AND WITH MORE EMPHASIS ON EXPERIMENTAL TESTING.

ECONOMIC GROWTH, COMMERCIAL TRUCKS, AND TRANSPORTATION ENERGY ARE CLOSELY INTERTWINED. ECONOMIC GROWTH REQUIRES THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS. TRUCKS CARRY MORE THAN 70% OF THE NATION’S FREIGHT ON BOTH A TONNAGE AND VALUE BASIS1 – AT SOME POINT ON THEIR WAY FROM MANUFACTURER TO CONSUMER, VIRTUALLY ALL GOODS TRAVEL BY TRUCK. THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS REQUIRES ENERGY, AND MEDIUM- AND HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS (CLASS 3-8) CONSUME 25% OF ANNUAL VEHICLE FUEL USE,2 DESPITE COMPRISING ONLY 4% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF U.S. ON-ROAD VEHICLES. OFF-ROAD VEHICLES ACCOUNT FOR 8% OF THE TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMED IN THE U.S. TRANSPORTATION SECTOR AND ARE USED IN KEY DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION, AGRICULTURE, AND MINING.3 ENERGY USE BY TRUCKS IS ALSO GROWING. U.S. ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION (EIA) PROJECTIONS INDICATE THAT THE FREIGHT TRUCK SECTOR’S ANNUAL VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED (VMT) WILL INCREASE BY 54% BY 2050.4 AS THE FASTEST GROWING FUEL USERS IN THE UNITED STATES (AND THE WORLD), TRUCKS ARE A DOMINANT FACTOR IN AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND ENERGY SECURITY.

THE ACTIVITIES TO BE FUNDED UNDER THIS FOA SUPPORT BIL SECTION 41007(B)(1) AND THE BROADER GOVERNMENT-WIDE APPROACH TO ENABLE THE INNOVATIONS NEEDED TO ADVANCE U.S. WIND SYSTEMS, REDUCE THE COST OF ELECTRICITY, AND ACCELERATE THE DEPLOYMENT OF WIND POWER. THE FOA CONSISTS OF FOUR TOPIC AREAS, FOCUSING ON HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT FOR OFFSHORE WIND, ADVANCING DEPLOYMENT OF DISTRIBUTED WIND, OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH, AND BAT DETERRENT TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (B)

THIS PROJECT WILL USE FATALITY AND BEHAVIORAL METRICS TO EVALUATE THE REDUCTION OF BAT FATALITIES AT WIND TURBINES USING AIRCRAFT LIGHTING DETECTION SYSTEMS (ADLS). THESE METRICS WILL ALLOW US TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL-WORLD EFFICACY AND IMPACT REDUCTION POTENTIAL OF ADLS AS A PASSIVE DETERRENT AT MULTIPLE COMMERCIAL-SCALE WIND ENERGY FACILITIES ACROSS SPACE AND TIME IN AN EFFORT TO LEAD TO STAKEHOLDER ACCEPTANCE OF ADLS AS A BAT FATALITY MINIMIZATION TOOL. SPECIFICALLY, OUR OBJECTIVES ARE TO:

1. DETERMINE FATALITY RATES OBSERVED AT FACILITIES WITH AND WITHOUT ADLS INSTALLED. WE WILL USE POST-CONSTRUCTION MONITORING (PCM) DATA FROM THE RENEW AND AMERICAN WIND WILDLIFE INFORMATION CENTER (AWWIC) DATABASES TO DESCRIBE FATALITY RATES AT WIND ENERGY FACILITIES WITH ADLS INSTALLED AND AN EQUAL NUMBER OF NEARBY FACILITIES WITHOUT ADLS. BY USING EXISTING PCM DATA, WE WILL MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ADLS ACROSS YEARS AND SITES IN A COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER.

2. QUANTIFY THE FATALITY RISK REDUCTION ASSOCIATED WITH ADLS USE AT WIND ENERGY FACILITIES.
WE WILL COMBINE RADAR ACTIVITY RATES AND BAT ACOUSTIC EXPOSURE ACROSS A LANDSCAPE WITH FACILITIES UTILIZING AND NOT UTILIZING ADLS TO DETERMINE THE RISK REDUCTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ADLS.

3. EVALUATE THE ATTRACTION OF NOCTURNAL BAT-LIKE OBJECTS TO AVIATION LIGHTING AT TWO WIND FACILITIES IN TWO LATE-SUMMER PERIODS WHEN FATALITIES ARE HIGHEST. WE WILL USE MULTIPLE RADAR SYSTEMS AND BAT ACOUSTIC SAMPLING AT A PAIR OF ADJACENT WIND FACILITIES EQUIPPED WITH AND WITHOUT OPERATIONAL ADLS SYSTEMS TO MEASURE ATTRACTION TO AVIATION LIGHTING USING ABUNDANCE AND TRAJECTORY OF BAT-LIKE OBJECTS AT A LANDSCAPE SCALE.

ACHIEVING NET-ZERO EMISSIONS ECONOMY-WIDE BY 2050 POSES PARTICULAR CHALLENGES FOR HARD-TO-
DECARBONIZE SECTORS WHERE ELECTRIFICATION WITH CLEAN ELECTRICITY WILL BE TECHNICALLY OR ECONOMICALLY DIFFICULT. THESE SECTORS INCLUDE STEEL MANUFACTURING, MEDIUM- AND HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORTATION, AND PRODUCTION OF CHEMICALS AND LIQUID FUELS. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES ARE PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, AND DOE’S H2@SCALE® VISION ILLUSTRATES THE PROMISING PATHWAYS FOR HYDROGEN TO ENABLE THE DECARBONIZATION OF MULTIPLE SECTORS. HYDROGEN IS A UNIQUE AND FLEXIBLE ENERGY CARRIER THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM A VARIETY OF CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCES, AND IT CAN COMPLEMENT EXISTING ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MULTIPLE END-USE APPLICATIONS. DOE RECENTLY PUBLISHED THE DRAFT DOE NATIONAL CLEAN HYDROGEN STRATEGY AND ROADMAP, WHICH WAS ALSO REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 40314 OF THE BIL, AS A NEW SECTION 814 OF EPACT 2005. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A TECHNOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE NATIONAL STRATEGY AND ROADMAP TO FACILITATE WIDESPREAD AND LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN, IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE H2@SCALE® VISION. THE STRATEGY AND ROADMAP OUTLINES STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO PRODUCE 10 MILLION METRIC TONS (MMT) OF CLEAN HYDROGEN IN THE UNITED STATES ANNUALLY BY 2030, 20 MMT PER YEAR BY 2040, AND 50 MMT PER YEAR BY 2050. IT INCLUDES THREE KEY STRATEGIES: (1) TARGETING HIGH-IMPACT USES FOR CLEAN HYDROGEN, (2) FOCUSING ON REGIONAL NETWORKS, AND (3) REDUCING THE COST OF CLEAN HYDROGEN. THIS FOA, WHICH WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT, PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE THIRD STRATEGY—WITH AN EMPHASIS ON REDUCING THE LIFECYCLE COSTS OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, STORAGE, DELIVERY, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (B)

THE STATED PROJECT OBJECTIVES WILL BE ACHIEVED BY THE ENGINEERING AND DEMONSTRATION OF A MECHANICALLY
TOUGH, CHEMICALLY STABLE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE MEMBRANE UTILIZING NAFION™ PERFLUOROSULFONIC ACID (PFSA)
POLYMER MANUFACTURED ON ASSETS ENABLING GIGAWATT SCALE AND PROVEN CONSISTENCY THROUGH REPEATABILITY
TRIALS FOR THE COMPOSITE MEMBRANE AND ALL SUBCOMPONENTS. TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE, LOAD-
CYCLING SHORT STACK TESTING DATA WILL BE BUTTRESSED BY SPECIFIC MEA TESTING PROTOCOLS AIMED AT
ACCELERATING AND UNDERSTANDING CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL FAILURE. IN ADDITION, EX-SITU MECHANICAL
PROTOCOLS SIMULATING FAILURE MODES WILL ELUCIDATE INTERACTIONS SUCH AS THOSE BETWEEN IONOMER AND OTHER
MEMBRANE SUBCOMPONENTS (SUCH AS REINFORCEMENT) AS WELL AS COMPOSITE MEMBRANE AND OTHER MEA FEATURES
(I.E., POROUS TRANSPORT LAYERS (PTLS)).

MEMBRANES WILL BE MANUFACTURED WHERE DIRECT INNOVATION IN ESSENTIAL SUBCOMPONENTS AND MEMBRANE
PROCESSING WILL BE PAIRED WITH PARTNERSHIPS WITH KEY SUPPLIERS (REINFORCEMENT, GAS RECOMBINATION
CATALYST (GRC), RADICAL SCAVENGER) TO ITERATE UPON THE BEST COMPOSITE MEMBRANE COMBINATION. IN
ADDITION, SINGLE-CELL MEA TESTING CAPABILITY AT ALL RELEVANT PARTNER FACILITIES WILL BE DEPLOYED TO
SCREEN MATERIALS AND WILL CONTRIBUTE CHEMICAL DURABILITY TESTING/EVALUATION PROTOCOLS TO THE
ACCELERATED STRESS TEST (AST) DEVELOPMENT. MECHANICAL PORTIONS OF THE AST WILL BE CONTRIBUTED THROUGH A
CUSTOM-ENGINEERED PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING APPARATUS, WHICH WILL BE COMBINED WITH A CHEMICAL
AST TO DELIVER A “COMBINED” PROTOCOL

CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY, OR PRIVILEGED INFORMATION EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. 2
ANALOGOUS IN PRINCIPLE TO THOSE USED IN PEM FUEL CELLS. ASTS WILL BE DEVELOPED IN SINGLE CELL TEST
STANDS, INTENDED TO CORRELATE WITH OBSERVED STACK FAILURES.
SHORT STACK MEA EVALUATION AT ALL STAGES OF THE PROJECT WILL ALSO BE A COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT,
INCREASING IN COMPLEXITY (SCALE) AS THE MEMBRANES REACH SPECIFIED MATURITY THRESHOLDS. STACK TESTING
WILL COMPRISE REPRESENTATIVE LOAD PROTOCOLS FOR WHAT IS EXPECTED IN APPLICATION, ALONG WITH ASTS
APPLIED ONCE SINGLE CELL PROTOCOLS HAVE BEEN DEFINED AND PROVEN TO ACCELERATE REAL FAILURE MECHANISMS.
A SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODELING CAPABILITY TO PROJECT MEMBRANE LIFETIME BASED ON LOAD-CYCLING AND ACCELERATED
DATA WILL FLOW FROM THE AST DEVELOPED IN THE PROJECT.
IN ADDITION TO ELECTROCHEMICAL TESTS, OBSERVED/HYPOTHESIZED FAILURE MODES WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP EX-
SITU PROTOCOLS AIMED AT REPLICATING HOW MEMBRANES FAIL OPERANDO, ENABLING RAPID PROTOTYPING TO EXPEDITE
SOLUTIONS. WORK WILL ALSO COMPRISE THE SIMULATION OF MEA INTEGRATION ISSUES KNOWN TO CAUSE MEMBRANE
DEFORMATION/FAILURE. THESE PROTOCOLS WILL BE REVISED AS NEW MECHANICAL FAILURE DATA IS AVAILABLE.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (B)

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS (AICHE) WILL LEAD A CONSORTIUM THAT INCLUDES INDUSTRY LEADING FUEL CELL/ELECTROLYZER/CATALYST/IONOMER/ANALYSIS INDUSTRY PARTNERS, NATIONAL LABORATORIES, AND UNIVERSITIES. THE EFFORT WILL DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY RELEVANT TO CIRCULAR RECYCLING FOR THE H2 ECONOMY (H2CIRC) TO ADDRESS END-OF-LIFE (EOL) AND CRITICAL SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES FOR LOW TEMPERATURE PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE (PEM) FUEL CELLS AND ELECTROLYZERS (FC/EL) WITH THE GOAL OF SUSTAINABLY RECOVERING AND RECYCLING CATALYSTS, MEMBRANES, IONOMERS, CARBON, AND OTHER COMPONENTS AS DEPICTED IN FIGURE A.1, WITH THE RECOVERY GOALS LISTED IN TABLE A.1. THE RECOVERY OF THESE MATERIALS IS CRITICAL, AND IT MUST BE PERFORMED IN A MANNER THAT LIMITS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (GHG) AND OTHER HARMFUL POLLUTANTS, OTHERWISE THE BENEFITS OF THE H2 ECONOMY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DEVELOPING THE TECHNOLOGY CRITICAL FOR PEM FC/EL RECYCLABILITY, THE CONSORTIUM WILL INTEGRATE KEY OVERARCHING EFFORTS IN DIVERSITY/INCLUSION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT/TRAINING, TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (TEA), AND LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS (LCA), AS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE OUTER RING OF FIGURE A.1.

H2CIRC BRINGS TOGETHER A STRONG TEAM OF EXPERTS FROM INDUSTRY, NATIONAL LABS, AND ACADEMIA WITH DEEP TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN LOW-TEMPERATURE PEM FC/ELS. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 16 MEMBERS, INCLUDING 8 INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS, 4 UNIVERSITIES, 3 NATIONAL LABS, AND ONE NON-PROFIT. THE BREADTH AND EXPERTISE OF THESE PARTNERS ENABLES MEMBERSHIP TO SPAN THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN OF PEM FC/ELS, BUSINESS SIZE (INCLUDING SMALL/MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES, SMES), AND GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS. THE COLLABORATIVE STRENGTHS OF THE TEAM AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CRITICAL MATERIAL NEEDS/QUALITIES WILL ALLOW THE H2CIRC CONSORTIUM TO DRIVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CIRCULAR RECYCLING TO ADDRESS EOL AND SUPPLY CHALLENGES WITH THE GOAL TO SUSTAINABLY RECOVER AND RECYCLE CATALYSTS, IONOMERS, AND OTHER COMPONENTS FOR SECOND USE OR REMANUFACTURE. ADDITIONALLY, COMMUNITY OUTREACH IS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM AS IT WILL HELP TO ATTRACT AND DEVELOP/EDUCATE A WORKFORCE AND INFORM THE PUBLIC AS TO ITS IMPORTANCE.
THE CONSORTIUM RECOVERY AND REUSE GOALS FOR EACH MEA COMPONENT ARE 95% FOR IR, 99% FOR PT, 75% FOR THE IONOMER, AND 70% FOR CARBON. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS THE CONSORTIUM WILL PURSUE FOUR INDEPENDENT MEA RECYCLE PATHWAYS THAT WILL MINIMIZE RISK, DEVELOP ROBUST RECYCLING OPTIONS, AND ALLOW THE MEMBERS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN IP. CRITICALLY, THE RECYCLING PATHWAYS AIM TO DEVELOP A PROCESS THAT MAINTAINS THE HIGH LEVELS OF RECOVERY OF THE METALS, BUT ALSO ALLOWS THE IONOMER TO BE RECYCLED/RE-USED WITH CARBON RECOVERY GOALS BEING TERTIARY. TO BE INDUSTRIALLY RELEVANT, THE METHODS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE RECYCLE STREAM MUST BE SCALABLE SUCH THAT THE SPEED OF RECYCLING CAN OCCUR AT RATES COMMENSURATE WITH MANUFACTURING. TO ACHIEVE THIS RATE, IT IS NECESSARY TO ALSO DEVELOP A DISASSEMBLY PROCESS THAT IS EXPEDIENT, AND CONSEQUENTLY, A ROBOTIC/AUTOMATED DISASSEMBLY APPROACH WILL BE PURSUED THAT WILL BE BROADLY USEFUL ACROSS INDUSTRY. FINALLY, THE CONSORTIUM AIMS TO MINIMIZE GHG EMISSIONS BY INVESTIGATING GREEN PATHWAYS, AND THUS TEA AND LCA WILL BE DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT. THIS EFFORT IS NOT AN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT.

ACHIEVING NET-ZERO EMISSIONS ECONOMY-WIDE BY 2050 POSES PARTICULAR CHALLENGES FOR HARD-TO-DECARBONIZE SECTORS WHERE ELECTRIFICATION WITH CLEAN ELECTRICITY WILL BE TECHNICALLY OR ECONOMICALLY DIFFICULT. THESE SECTORS INCLUDE STEEL MANUFACTURING, MEDIUM- AND HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORTATION, AND PRODUCTION OF CHEMICALS AND LIQUID FUELS. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES ARE PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, AND DOE’S H2@SCALE® VISION ILLUSTRATES THE PROMISING PATHWAYS FOR HYDROGEN TO ENABLE THE DECARBONIZATION OF MULTIPLE SECTORS. HYDROGEN IS A UNIQUE AND FLEXIBLE ENERGY CARRIER THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM A VARIETY OF CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCES, AND IT CAN COMPLEMENT EXISTING ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MULTIPLE END-USE APPLICATIONS.

DOE RECENTLY PUBLISHED THE DRAFT DOE NATIONAL CLEAN HYDROGEN STRATEGY AND ROADMAP, WHICH WAS ALSO REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 40314 OF THE BIL, AS A NEW SECTION 814 OF EPACT 2005. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A TECHNOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE NATIONAL STRATEGY AND ROADMAP TO FACILITATE WIDESPREAD AND LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN, IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE H2@SCALE® VISION. THE STRATEGY AND ROADMAP OUTLINES STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO PRODUCE 10 MILLION METRIC TONS (MMT) OF CLEAN HYDROGEN IN THE UNITED STATES ANNUALLY BY 2030, 20 MMT PER YEAR BY 2040, AND 50 MMT PER YEAR BY 2050. IT INCLUDES THREE KEY STRATEGIES: (1) TARGETING HIGH-IMPACT USES FOR CLEAN HYDROGEN, (2) FOCUSING ON REGIONAL NETWORKS, AND (3) REDUCING THE COST OF CLEAN HYDROGEN. THIS FOA, WHICH WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT, PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE THIRD STRATEGY—WITH AN EMPHASIS ON REDUCING THE LIFECYCLE COSTS OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, STORAGE, DELIVERY, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN.”

THE FOA CONSISTS OF FOUR TOPIC AREAS, FOCUSING ON HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT (HVDC) FOR OFFSHORE WIND, ADVANCING DEPLOYMENT OF DISTRIBUTED (ADD) WIND, OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH, AND BAT DETERRENT TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (B)

THE ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE (EPRI) WILL CONDUCT A FULL-SCALE EVALUATION OF DIM, FLICKERING, AND STROBOSCOPIC ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT AS A DETERRENT TO PREVENT BAT FATALITIES AT WIND TURBINES. THE PROJECT WILL TACKLE THREE RESEARCH INTERESTS: TARGETED BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH STUDYING DETERRENT STIMULI ON BATS, IN SITU BAT DETERRENT TESTING AT A COMMERCIAL-SCALE WIND ENERGY FACILITY, AND ADVANCEMENTS FOR UV DETERRENTS. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT BATS BOTH SEE AND MAY BE DETERRED BY UV LIGHTS PROGRAMMED TO FLICKER ASYNCHRONOUSLY THAT PRODUCE AN IRREGULAR QUASI-VISUAL UV NOISE EFFECT (‘UV NOISE’), BUT ROBUST EVALUATION HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE AT AN OPERATIONAL, COMMERCIAL-SCALE WIND ENERGY FACILITY. EPRI WILL EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF UV DETERRENTS ON CHANGING BAT BEHAVIOR WITHIN THE ROTOR-SWEPT ZONE USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3-D) FLIGHT TRACKING METHODOLOGY AND ACOUSTIC MONITORING TO TEST HOW BAT SPECIES OF CONCERN REACT AND RESPOND TO STIMULI UNDER THREE UV TREATMENTS: LIGHTS OFF (CONTROL), LIGHTS FLICKERING ASYNCHRONOUSLY (‘UV NOISE’), AND LIGHTS FLICKERING IN SYNCHRONY (‘UV FLASH’). SYNCHRONOUS FLASHING OF UV LIGHT IS A NOVEL DETERRENT STIMULUS THAT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED PREVIOUSLY AS A POTENTIAL DETERRENT. UV FLASHES MAY BE MORE NOTICEABLE AND VISUALLY DISRUPTIVE FOR BATS AT A GREATER DISTANCE THAN UV NOISE. EPRI WILL DEVELOP A CONTROLLER MECHANISM TO APPLY LIGHT TREATMENTS AS PART OF A RANDOMIZED BLOCK DESIGN. EPRI WILL VALIDATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NOVEL DETERRENT STIMULI/SIGNALS AND UNDERSTAND HOW BATS BEHAVE AROUND DETERRENTS.

ACHIEVING NET-ZERO EMISSIONS ECONOMY-WIDE BY 2050 POSES PARTICULAR CHALLENGES FOR HARD-TO-DECARBONIZE SECTORS WHERE ELECTRIFICATION WITH CLEAN ELECTRICITY WILL BE TECHNICALLY OR ECONOMICALLY DIFFICULT. THESE SECTORS INCLUDE STEEL MANUFACTURING, MEDIUM- AND HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORTATION, AND PRODUCTION OF CHEMICALS AND LIQUID FUELS. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES ARE PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, AND DOE’S H2@SCALE® VISION ILLUSTRATES THE PROMISING PATHWAYS FOR HYDROGEN TO ENABLE THE DECARBONIZATION OF MULTIPLE SECTORS. HYDROGEN IS A UNIQUE AND FLEXIBLE ENERGY CARRIER THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM A VARIETY OF CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCES, AND IT CAN COMPLEMENT EXISTING ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MULTIPLE END-USE APPLICATIONS. DOE RECENTLY PUBLISHED THE DRAFT DOE NATIONAL CLEAN HYDROGEN STRATEGY AND ROADMAP, WHICH WAS ALSO REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 40314 OF THE BIL, AS A NEW SECTION 814 OF EPACT 2005. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A TECHNOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE NATIONAL STRATEGY AND ROADMAP TO FACILITATE WIDESPREAD AND LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN, IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE H2@SCALE® VISION. THE STRATEGY AND ROADMAP OUTLINES STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO PRODUCE 10 MILLION METRIC TONS (MMT) OF CLEAN HYDROGEN IN THE UNITED STATES ANNUALLY BY 2030, 20 MMT PER YEAR BY 2040, AND 50 MMT PER YEAR BY 2050. IT INCLUDES THREE KEY STRATEGIES: (1) TARGETING HIGH-IMPACT USES FOR CLEAN HYDROGEN, (2) FOCUSING ON REGIONAL NETWORKS, AND (3) REDUCING THE COST OF CLEAN HYDROGEN. THIS FOA, WHICH WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT, PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE THIRD STRATEGY—WITH AN EMPHASIS ON REDUCING THE LIFECYCLE COSTS OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, STORAGE, DELIVERY, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN.

ACHIEVING NET-ZERO EMISSIONS ECONOMY-WIDE BY 2050 POSES PARTICULAR CHALLENGES FOR HARD-TO-DECARBONIZE SECTORS WHERE ELECTRIFICATION WITH CLEAN ELECTRICITY WILL BE TECHNICALLY OR ECONOMICALLY DIFFICULT. THESE SECTORS INCLUDE STEEL MANUFACTURING, MEDIUM- AND HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORTATION, AND PRODUCTION OF CHEMICALS AND LIQUID FUELS. HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES ARE PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, AND DOE’S H2@SCALE® VISION ILLUSTRATES THE PROMISING PATHWAYS FOR HYDROGEN TO ENABLE THE DECARBONIZATION OF MULTIPLE SECTORS. HYDROGEN IS A UNIQUE AND FLEXIBLE ENERGY CARRIER THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM A VARIETY OF CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCES, AND IT CAN COMPLEMENT EXISTING ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MULTIPLE END-USE APPLICATIONS. DOE RECENTLY PUBLISHED THE DRAFT DOE NATIONAL CLEAN HYDROGEN STRATEGY AND ROADMAP, WHICH WAS ALSO REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 40314 OF THE BIL, AS A NEW SECTION 814 OF EPACT 2005. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A TECHNOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE NATIONAL STRATEGY AND ROADMAP TO FACILITATE WIDESPREAD AND LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN, IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE H2@SCALE® VISION. THE STRATEGY AND ROADMAP OUTLINES STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO PRODUCE 10 MILLION METRIC TONS (MMT) OF CLEAN HYDROGEN IN THE UNITED STATES ANNUALLY BY 2030, 20 MMT PER YEAR BY 2040, AND 50 MMT PER YEAR BY 2050. IT INCLUDES THREE KEY STRATEGIES: (1) TARGETING HIGH-IMPACT USES FOR CLEAN HYDROGEN, (2) FOCUSING ON REGIONAL NETWORKS, AND (3) REDUCING THE COST OF CLEAN HYDROGEN. THIS FOA, WHICH WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT, PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE THIRD STRATEGY—WITH AN EMPHASIS ON REDUCING THE LIFECYCLE COSTS OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, STORAGE, DELIVERY, AND USE OF CLEAN HYDROGEN.
