DOE Names First Hydrogen Shot Incubator Winners 

The U.S. Department of Energy has named the phase one winners of the Hydrogen Shot Incubator Prize, a $2.6 million competition to foster innovative concepts for producing clean hydrogen. With these awards, nine winning teams will each receive $60,000 for their early-stage concepts for novel hydrogen production technologies. The prizes in this phase (Propose!) consist of $10,000 in cash and $50,000 in vouchers for teams to spend at national laboratories to further develop their concepts. […]

Consortium developing sensor array to prolong fuel cell life 

Getting rid of contaminants in cathode air is the problem. With research studies in Germany and a prototype that will be tested in China, Mann+Hummel is leading a consortium seeking to develop an air filter system that will prolong the life of fuel cells for commercial vehicles. Advanced air filtration sensor technology is seen as an important tool in improving the performance/lifetime ratio of fuel cell systems and the company has its sights set on the Chinese market particularly.
