Current status of university-based energy institutes in the United States and a pathway to forming a national organization.

Over the past twenty years, the number of university-based energy institutes (UBEI) that focus on supporting energy-related research has increased substantially. A recent set of surveys, the results of which we share here, show that there are over 150 active energy institutes at Ph.D.

Hydrogen Storage for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles: Expert Elicitation and a Levelized Cost of Driving Model.

A cost-effective and compact hydrogen storage system could advance fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Today's commercial FCEVs incorporate storage that is projected to be heavier, larger, and costlier than targets set by the U.S.

Expert assessments of the cost and expected future performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells for vehicles.

Despite decades of development, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) still lack wide market acceptance in vehicles. To understand the expected trajectories of PEMFC attributes that influence adoption, we conducted an expert elicitation assessment of the current and expected future cost and performance of automotive PEMFCs. We elicited 39 experts' assessments of PEMFC system cost, stack durability, and stack power density under a hypothetical, large-scale production scenario.
