UT PGE Awarded First-Ever DOE Funding for Geologic H2 Research
Four Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering faculty members received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) in February as part of a $20 million effort to accelerate the natural subsurface generation of low-cost, low-emissions hydrogen. This is the first time that the U.S. government has competitively selected teams to research this kind of technology.
