DEEE0010698

The Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) is home to one of the largest university combustion laboratories in the world, with major research and evaluation infrastructure that has fostered deep relationships to global hydrocarbon fuel utilization communities.

Gas turbine manufacturers, electric utilities, industrial equipment manufacturers, aircraft engine manufacturers, reciprocating engine manufacturers, and DOE labs all conduct research and support student training at the GT Combustion Laboratory. This project will create new research and education infrastructure, focused on enabling the future use of hydrogen and ammonia as practical energy carriers.

Specifically, the project will fund the purchase, installation, and commissioning of (1) hydrogen generation/storage and distribution equipment; (2) ammonia storage, safety, vaporization, and distribution equipment; and (3) air compression, heating, and distribution infrastructure needed to replicate practical industrial conditions; and (4) a hydrogen fuel cell facility. It also will support collaborative research and training opportunities, through which GT and CAU students to learn in the other institute’s facilities, primarily through funded research assistantships.
