Systems Analysis and Simulation Recommendation 2-2. The FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership should use its systems analysis capability routinely in the program management process, establishing goals, evaluating trade-offs, setting priorities, and making go/no-go decisions. NOTE: Recommendations set entirely in bold are contained in the executive summary of the Phase 1 Report.

Safety Technical Teams Recommendation 2-5. DOE should form a new crosscutting safety technical team with a mission that includes broad hydrogen-related safety issues not only for HFCIT but for the other DOE offices as well. The new team should incorporate the existing codes and standards technical team as a subteam.

Recommendation 2-12. The FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership should develop effective channels of communication among its members to disseminate lessons learned and communicate to appropriate organizations outside the Partnership to promote in them a culture of innovation and competition within the developing support structure. Goals and Targets Recommendation 2-13. The program should perform high-level systems analyses that identify the potential, the challenges, and the specific research breakthroughs for alternatives that could achieve the program vision without requiring a hydrogen infrastructure, and it should use these results to help define R&D efforts and allocate funds within DOE.

Recommendation 3-3. Increased emphasis should be placed on novel emission control technologies, and the advanced combustion and emissions control technical team should plan for, analyze, and seek solutions for emission problems associated with emerging fuels, fuel infrastructure, and propulsion systems. Fuel Cells Recommendation 3-4. DOE should broaden its collaboration with industry, academia, and other government agencies on precompetitive, industry-wide technical issues and solutions.

Recommendation 3-9. In view of the risk posed to the entire hydrogen program by the need for a viable hydrogen storage system, the hydrogen storage technical team and the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership leadership team should report annually to all program participants, DOE, and Congress on the state of hydrogen storage technology worldwide relative to the goals and targets of the program. Electrochemical Energy Storage for Electric Vehicles Recommendation 3-10. DOE should direct more of its effort and funding for high-power batteries for HEVs to applied and long-term exploratory research rather than battery development.
|
From page 142... ...
The EE technical team should be aware of and leverage the work on high-temperature semiconductors, packaging, and thermal management being funded by government agencies at universities, commercial organizations, and the national laboratories.
|
From page 143... ...
Thus, much of this research funding might better be expended on other more challenging research areas, such as hydrogen storage materials, batteries, fuel cells, and the infrastructure. CHAPTER 4: HYDROGEN FUEL PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION Recommendation 4-1. The committee strongly recommends that the Hydrogen Technology R&D be fully funded at the $99 million level for the areas indicated in the FY06 Presidential budget request to Congress.
|
From page 144... ...
Specifically, this analysis should examine whether setting a hydrogen cost goal during the transition that is higher than the cost goal for a mature hydrogen economy would speed or impede the introduction of fuel-cell-powered vehicles. Recommendation 4-3. The committee believes that significant development efforts should be directed to distributed hydrogen production, including natural gas reforming and electrolysis as well as exploratory work on other distributed generation options.
