In the coming decades, personal transportation options and the required infrastructure must undergo a fundamental transformation to achieve the nation’s economic, environmental, and national security needs. New fuel sources, consideration of greenhouse gas emissions and oil dependence, and application of new technologies will contribute to this transformation to sustainable transportation solutions. Moreover, the heterogeneous distribution [...]
Sandia provides the technical basis for assessing the safety of hydrogen fuel cell systems and infrastructure with the accumulation of knowledge feeding into the modification of relevant codes and standards. The effort at Sandia consists of four core components: Hydrogen Behavior– Provides the foundation for the scenario analysis and risk assessment. The understanding and validated [...]
Thermochemical conversion of biomass to fuels has become increasingly important as climate and energy security issues challenge our dependence on conventional energy sources. Sandia provides the enabling science and engineering basis for the next generation of thermochemical platform technologies for biomass to fungible fuels and power. Thermochemical fuels research expertise includes biomass pre-treatment, fast-pyrolysis, char [...]
