The National Science Foundation supports basic research and education. There are many projects currently supported involving hydrogen and fuel cells. Some examples include storage of hydrogen in novel materials, catalytic hydrogen production, biological production of hydrogen, membranes for use in fuel cells, computational methods supporting the physical and chemical processes related to fuel cell operation, and engineering issues related to the production, storage and transport of hydrogen. Education and outreach projects involving hydrogen and fuel cells are also supported by NSF.

NSF is a member of the Hydrogen Research & Development Interagency Task Force, a group established under the auspices of the National Science and Technology Council to focus and coordinate the activities of a number of federal agencies in support of the transition to a hyrdrogen economy. You can learn more about the Hydrogen Research and Development Interagency Task Force at its web site, hydrogen.gov.
