This momentum comes as research breakthroughs across the world — and in labs on the UT campus — are bringing the potential of hydrogen closer to reality.
Last year, the U.S. Department of Energy’s H2@Scale program awarded a grant to researchers at UT Austin and a group of energy companies. The nearly $11 million project includes partnerships with Frontier Energy, Toyota, Shell and more.

As part of the project, UT Austin will host a first-of-its-kind integration of commercial hydrogen production, distribution, storage and use. The project partners will generate zero-carbon hydrogen at a new site via electrolysis with solar and wind power and reformation of renewable natural gas from a Texas landfill. It is the first time that both sources of renewable hydrogen will be used in the same project.
The hydrogen will power a stationary…
