The DTE Energy Hydrogen Technology Park is a hydrogen energy demonstration project designed to provide critical insight into the role of hydrogen in our nation's energy system. From the generation of hydrogen to storage, distribution and conversion to energy, our working prototype:
- produces hydrogen gas from tap water using a mix of solar power, biomass power and power from the electric grid
- compresses and stores the hydrogen on site
- delivers enough electricity to power a small office complex, or approximately 20 homes, and produce enough compressed hydrogen gas to power about three fuel cell vehicles per day
Hydrogen is a very promising means of energy storage; however the challenge of a widespread infrastructure build-out is significant.
The DTE Energy Hydrogen Technology Park is a real-world demonstration of the opportunities and challenges associated with a shift towards a hydrogen infrastructure. Our project brings governments (federal, state and local), universities and industry together to foster development of clean energy technologies.
Our partners in this project include DaimlerChrysler and the U.S. Department of Energy.
