As set forth in Holland & Knight s Realizing a Hydrogen Economy blog series,
there is an immense opportunity for hydrogen to play a key role in
global decarbonization efforts across dozens of sectors and
applications. However, to realize the full potential of hydrogen
and to ensure green hydrogen is in a position to play a critical
role in decarbonization, government partnerships, collaboration and
an inviting regulatory landscape will be critical. This blog
provides a high-level overview of the available U.S. federal
government programs to support the development and deployment of
Si/GaN Device can Help Accelerate Commercialization of Hydrogen Fuel Cells
About three years ago,
researchers from the University of Michigan had identified a new artificial photosynthesis device composed of silicon and gallium nitride (Si/GaN).

Three years ago, scientists at the University of Michigan discovered an artificial photosynthesis device made of silicon and gallium nitride (Si/GaN) that harnesses sunlight into carbon-free hydrogen for fuel cells with twice the efficiency and stability of some previous technologies.
Now, scientists at the Department of Energy s (DOE s) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) - in collaboration with the University of Michigan and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) - have uncovered a surprising, self-improving property in Si/GaN that contributes to the material s highly efficient and stable performance in converting light and water into carbon-free hydrogen. Their findings,
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy said it plans to announce three funding opportunities this spring aimed at technologies that well help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the transportation sector.
The potential funding would support “innovative research,
