Cornell University & two Cornell research-startups have joined a consortium that aims to propose a Northeast research hub to make hydrogen a viable, clean-energy alternative to carbon-based fuels. Cornell University will be joined by Cornell research spinoff Ecolectro, a startup company at Cornell’s McGovern Center business incubator, and by Standard Hydrogen Corporation, a Cornell-related company, which are among 40 partners to develop the regional proposal.The New York-led consortium includes Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey, which have on-going, strong hydrogen and fuel cell-innovation research programs. Other New York universities participating in the consortium include Columbia University, Rochester Institute of Technology, New York University, Stony Brook University SUNY, City College of New York and University at Buffalo SUNY.The New York-led multistate collaboration is guided by Gov Kathy Hochul and organized by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. With approximately USD 9.6 billion available in federal funding, the US Department of Energy is expected to request proposals starting in early May for regional hydrogen centers that would offer a broad array of services, which will likely include research and demonstration projects. The Northeast group plans to apply for a portion of that federal funding.
