U.S. Department of Energy Decides to Discontinue On-Board Fuel Processor R&D
for Fuel Cell Vehicles
Over the past ten years, DOE has funded R&D for on-board fuel processing as
one option to bridge the transition to a hydrogen economy. Since the
President's Hydrogen Fuel Initiative accelerated the hydrogen technology
commercialization decision from 2030 to 2015, the contribution that on-board
fuel processing could make as a transitional technology was lessened. A
go/no-go decision was set for June 2004 to decide whether to continue
research for on-board fuel processing.
DOE conducted a review of on-board fuel processing activities and concluded
that, based on the current state of the technology, it is unlikely that
on-board fuel processing will improve sufficiently to support the transition
to a hydrogen economy. The decision is based on several key conclusions:
Current fuel processing technologies do not meet the technical and economic
targets
There is no clear path forward to meet the more difficult criteria necessary
for full implementation/integration in fuel cell vehicles
There is no interest from the U.S. auto industry
Competing technologies are available today, and only marginal improvement is
expected in efficiency and emissions between a gasoline, hybrid-electric
vehicle and a fuel cell vehicle operating on gasoline that is reformed
on-board the vehicle
