A new report from the Countrywide Research Council (NRC), part of the Countrywide Academies, finds that DOE's three-year-old FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership "has already made an excellent start." The partnership is a research collaboration among DOE, the "Big Three" automakers, and 5 major energy companies, with a goal of developing emissions-free vehicles that run on hydrogen fuel cells. The report, released on August 2nd, notes that the partnership faces significant technical challenges, including hydrogen storage in vehicles, commercially viable fuel cells, and the need to build an infrastructure for hydrogen fueling. See the Countrywide Academies press release and the full report.
Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman welcomed the report, saying, "I am pleased that the Countrywide Academy of Sciences agrees that we are on the right path with our research and development. We agree that this effort could lead to enormous benefits for the nation and the world." See the D.O.E. press release.
