Hydrogen Technologies’ Zero-Emission DCC(TM) Boiler Solution Aligns Precisely With New $6.2B From Department of Energy Grant Funding Programs to Reduce Industrial Emissions

TULSA, OK and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2023 / Hydrogen Technologies ("HT"), developer of the patented, zero-emission DCC™ hydrogen-fueled boiler, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is now offering grant funding up to 80% to businesses interested in deploying hydrogen boilers to decarbonize industrial operations. These grants support businesses with operations in the U.S. in their efforts to decarbonize their steam production using technologies such as HT's hydrogen-fueled boilers.

HT's DCC™ boilers are an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based boilers, and they eliminate GHG emissions, providing a cleaner and greener steam source for industry.

Details about the new DOE funding programs focused on decarbonizing U.S. industry:

• Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) FY23 Multi-Topic FOA Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Number: DE-FOA-0002997. Decarbonizing Industrial Heat. $156 million across 37 to 62 projects. Project size $750K to $10M. 5-page concept paper due 4/17/23. Full application due 6/23/23.
• Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), Industrial Decarbonization & Emissions Reduction Demonstration-to-Deployment, FOA Number: DE-FOA-0002936. $6 billion across 22 to 65 projects. Project size from $35M to $500M. 10-page concept paper due 4/21/23. Full application due 8/04/23.

With submission deadlines fast approaching, it is essential for businesses to act fast and take advantage of this opportunity to support their sustainability efforts while saving money and creating local jobs.

Organizations interested in participating in the grants program should visit Hydrogen Technologies' website and fill out the form on the "Funding Opportunities" tab.

HT's DCC™ boiler was developed to be THE boiler for a CO2-free future. It maximizes thermal efficiency, minimizes operating headaches, and emits absolutely no greenhouse gasses or other pollutants. By combining pure hydrogen (H2) and pure oxygen (O2) gas in an exothermic reaction, the DCC™ being demonstrated achieves independently verified GHG-free fuel efficiency greater than 97%.¹ In December 2022, the DCC™ was awarded the Solar Impulse Foundation's prestigious "Solar Impulse Efficient Solution" label which recognizes profitable solutions to protect the environment.
