撥款將支持開發創新、可擴展的製造工藝,用於生產燃料電池碳催化劑載體
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 18, 2024-- Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, selected its application for a $5 million research grant. This grant will be used by Cabot and its partners to support the deployment of fuel cells, which emit only water when creating electricity.
波士頓--(美國商業資訊)--2024年4月18日-- 卡博特公司 紐約證券交易所股票代碼:CBT)宣佈,美國能源部(DOE)根據兩黨基礎設施法,選擇了其500萬美元研究補助金的申請。這筆贈款將由卡博特及其合作伙伴用於支持燃料電池的部署,燃料電池在發電時僅排放水。
The transition to electric in the worldwide mobility landscape is significantly supported by fuel cells, especially in the electrification of long-distance transportation. This importance stems from the fact that the extended driving range and management of heavier loads necessary for long-haul travel present difficulties for the adoption of battery technology.
燃料電池在全球交通領域向電動化的過渡得到了燃料電池的大力支持,尤其是在長途交通的電氣化方面。這種重要性源於這樣一個事實,即長途旅行所需的延長續航里程和對更重負荷的管理給採用電池技術帶來了困難。
The project will focus on developing an innovative and scalable manufacturing process for producing specialized carbon black that can be used as carbon catalyst supports for fuel cells. This technology will support and accelerate the establishment of a domestic catalyst supply chain, by providing a reliable source of high-performance carbon catalyst support.
該項目將重點開發一種創新且可擴展的製造工藝,用於生產可用作燃料電池碳催化劑載體的專用炭黑。該技術通過提供可靠的高性能碳催化劑支持來源,將支持和加速國內催化劑供應鏈的建立。
Cabot is the lead recipient on the project titled, "Scalable, Innovative Manufacturing Process for Novel Carbon Supports for Metal Catalysts for Medium and Heavy-Duty Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells." Building on Cabot's strengths in carbon black particle production and engineering, especially in developing and commercializing carbon catalyst supports for fuel cells, this project will be deployed through collaborative research with Johnson Matthey, a leading manufacturer of catalysts and associated assemblies as well as Bosch, a leading fuel cell stack manufacturer and the University of California, Irvine, a leading research university in fuel cell technology. This project is poised to revolutionize the production of carbon catalyst supports essential for medium and heavy-duty fuel cells, aiming for a more sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing process. By developing a scalable and innovative manufacturing process, the project seeks to achieve high catalyst performance while optimizing the production process to increase process versatility, reduce production cost and minimize environmental impact.
卡博特是該項目的主要接受者,該項目名爲 “中型和重型質子交換膜燃料電池金屬催化劑的新型碳載體的可擴展創新制造工藝”。基於卡博特在炭黑顆粒生產和工程方面的優勢,特別是在燃料電池碳催化劑載體開發和商業化方面的優勢,該項目將通過與催化劑及相關組件的領先製造商莊信萬豐以及領先的燃料電池堆製造商博世和領先的燃料電池技術研究大學加州大學爾灣分校的合作研究型大學進行合作研究來部署。該項目有望徹底改變中型和重型燃料電池所必需的碳催化劑支撐物的生產,旨在實現更可持續和更具成本效益的製造工藝。通過開發可擴展的創新制造工藝,該項目旨在實現較高的催化劑性能,同時優化生產工藝,以提高工藝多功能性,降低生產成本並最大限度地減少對環境的影響。
"This DOE grant is not only a testament to our innovative capabilities but also aligns with our purpose to create materials that enable a more sustainable future. Through projects like this, Cabot is taking a leadership role in the evolution towards a more sustainable and efficient energy landscape," said Patricia Hubbard, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Cabot Corporation. "By developing this technology, we aim to strengthen and accelerate the establishment of a domestic fuel cell catalyst supply chain to help ensure a reliable source of high-performance carbon catalyst support. By collaborating with esteemed partners and leveraging our collective expertise, we are poised to make significant contributions to the hydrogen economy, driving forward the United States' leadership in clean energy technologies."
“美國能源部的這筆撥款不僅證明了我們的創新能力,而且符合我們創造能夠實現更可持續未來的材料的目標。通過這樣的項目,卡博特正在向更可持續和更高效的能源格局演變中發揮領導作用。” 卡博特公司高級副總裁兼首席技術官帕特里夏·哈伯德說。“通過開發這項技術,我們的目標是加強和加快國內燃料電池催化劑供應鏈的建立,以幫助確保高性能碳催化劑支持的可靠來源。通過與尊敬的合作伙伴合作並利用我們的集體專業知識,我們有望爲氫經濟做出重大貢獻,推動美國在清潔能源技術領域的領導地位。”
The grant funding of $750 million for projects focused on enhancing hydrogen technologies, announced under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law by the DOE, is dedicated to improving manufacturing and recycling capabilities for clean hydrogen systems and components. This investment aligns with the national clean hydrogen strategy detailed in the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, which aims to lower costs, boost manufacturing, strengthen supply chains and support domestic employment in the clean hydrogen sector.
美國能源部根據《兩黨基礎設施法》宣佈了7.5億美元的撥款,用於重點增強氫技術的項目,專門用於改善清潔氫氣系統和組件的製造和回收能力。這項投資符合國家清潔氫戰略,詳述於 美國國家清潔氫戰略和路線圖,其目標是降低成本,促進製造業,加強供應鏈並支持清潔氫行業的國內就業。
