Congratulations to Siddharth Komini Babu (Los Alamos National Lab); winner of the 2021-2022 ECS Toyota Young Investigator Fellowships for Projects in Green Energy Technology.
Rod Borup, the co-director of the Million Mile Fuel Cell Truck and Los Alamos National Laboratory’s program manager for fuel cells and vehicle technology, contributed to an article on the New Mexican's Science on the Hill section. The article discusses the current state and the future of fuel-cell-powered clean trucks, their positive impact on the environment, and their advantages over diesel trucks.
The M2FCT team outlined the current and future prospects and challenges of hydrogen fuel cells for heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks, buses, trains, and marine applications, in a recent Nature Energy study
Million-Mile Fuel Cell Truck Consortium and their research on developing the state of hydrogen fuel-cell technology for heavy-duty vehicle applications have been covered in a Press Release by Berkeley, with contributions from Dave Cullen (ORNL) and Ahmet Kusoglu (LBNL), as well as Adam Weber (LBNL) and Rod Borup (LANL), the co-directors of the M2FCT consortium.

The first Hydrogen Shot Summit took place Aug. 31–Sept. 1, 2021.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Shot Summit convened thousands of stakeholders online to introduce the Hydrogen Shot, solicit dialogue, and rally the global community on the urgency of tackling the climate crisis through concrete actions and innovation. The Hydrogen Shot Summit was held virtually August 31 and September 1, 2021.
DOE shared results from the recent Request for Information and solicited feedback on pathways to achieving the Hydrogen Shot's "1 1 1" goal of $1 for 1 kg of clean hydrogen in 1 decade.
Breakout sessions on various clean hydrogen production pathways as well as deployment and financing helped identify key challenges and potential strategies to address them.
