EERE宣布新项目加强氢能产业供应链

据http:/fuelcellsworks.com/报道：美国能源部已选定三个项目来对美国氢能和燃料电池供应链和制造业的竞争力进行分析。据悉，这些

项目将支持那些促进美国氢能和燃料电池发展所必须的本土零部件和系统供应商。此外，这些项目还将对全球范围内的氢能和燃料电池的现状进行分析以帮助量化贸易模式和认识美国厂商的核心竞争力。

被选中的项目包括以下三个：

Westside Industrial Retention & Expansion Network’s GLWN of Cleveland, Ohio, will receive $695,000 to complete detailed manufacturing analysis of fuel cell systems (automotive and stationary), high pressure hydrogen storage systems, and key high value hydrogen and fuel cell subsystems and components. The analysis will span systems and components manufactured in the United States, Europe, and Asia to determine the global cost leaders, best current manufacturing processes, key factors determining competitiveness, and potential means of cost reduction. During this project, GLWN will be required to work closely with NREL to ensure that their analysis is aligned with prior competitive analyses previously conducted in other renewable energy sectors (e.g., solar, photovoltaic, wind, and electric vehicle battery technologies).

克利夫兰市WIREN的GLWN项目将获得69.5万美元的资金来完成燃料电池系统、高压储氢系统以及高价值电池子系统和组件的制造过程分析。研究对象将包括产自美国、欧洲和亚洲的燃料电池系统和组件，研究将明确目前所能达到的最低成本、最佳的生产流程、最关键的生产步骤和潜在的降低成本的方法。GLWN将与NERL紧密合作以确保他们的分析与之前对其他形式可再生能源的分析是一致的。

Virginia Clean Cities at James Madison University of Harrisonburg, Virginia, will receive $450,000 to develop a nationwide Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Opportunity Center consisting of an innovative internet-based resource to grow the domestic fuel cell and hydrogen industry. The project will include the development of a communications database that features a comprehensive national supplier list and identifies new suppliers and encourages them to become engaged in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. The database will allow for the release and maintenance of a directory tool for public interaction with the data.

弗吉尼亚大学清洁城市项目将获得45万美元来建立一个全国性的氢能和燃料电池产业中心。该项目将包括一个覆盖全国氢能燃料电池设备供应商的数据库，并且不断发展新的供应商，并鼓励其加入氢能和燃料电池产业。

Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition (OFCC) of Elyria, Ohio, will receive $450,000 to develop a robust supply chain for fuel cell and hydrogen systems that will accelerate mass production, reduce cost, and improve performance and durability. They plan to establish an integrated network of four Regional Technical Exchange Centers to increase communication between OEMs and hydrogen and fuel cell component suppliers and to establish a nationwide, web-accessible database containing inputs from suppliers and OEMs along with a supplier contact list. OFCC will also assemble a working group to tackle component and subsystem standardization.

俄亥俄州燃料电池联盟（OFCC）将获得45万美元建立一个强大的供应链，加速燃料电池大规模生产，同时降低成本，提高性能和耐久性。他们计划建立一个横跨四个地区的网上技术交流中心增加OEM厂商和组件供应商的联系。
