$1 Million Dollar Federal Grant to Boost Fuel Cell Research in Columbia

Columbia’s effort to become a center for the hydrogen/fuel cell industry has received a boost from the federal government. EngenuitySC will get $1 million in federal money to help create the National Institute of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercialization.

The money for Engenuity, the umbrella group working to bring a knowledge-based economy to the Midlands, comes from a federal budget measure passed in November. The National Institute of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercialization, a nonprofit organization, will work to find commercial opportunities for USC and other state research institutions doing fuel cell research.
