Cabot (CBT) Chosen for $5M DOE Grant to Aid Hydrogen Economy
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cabot Corporation (CBT - Free Report) stated that its application for a $5 million research grant has been selected by the United States Department of Energy ("DOE") under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Cabot and its partners will utilize this money to help the implementation of fuel cells, which generate electricity by emitting only water.
Fuel cells play a crucial role in the global transition to electric mobility, particularly in the electrification of long-distance transportation. This significance derives from the fact that the expanded driving range and greater weights required for long-distance travel offer challenges for the adoption of battery technology.
The project will concentrate on establishing a novel and scalable manufacturing process for producing specialized carbon black that can be used as carbon catalyst supports in fuel cells. This will help speed up the development of a domestic catalyst supply chain by offering a dependable source of high-performance carbon catalyst support.
This project aims to revolutionize the production of carbon catalyst supports required for medium and heavy-duty fuel cells, resulting in a more sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing process. The project aims to obtain high catalyst performance while optimizing the manufacturing process to maximize process versatility, reduce production costs and lower environmental effects.
The DOE has announced $750 million in grant funding for projects focusing on advancing hydrogen technologies as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The funds will be utilized to improve manufacturing and recycling capabilities for clean hydrogen systems and components.
Shares of Cabot have gained 23.1% over the past year against a 9.5% decline of its industry.
