§ 16233. Low-cost renewable hydrogen and infrastructure for vehicle propulsion
Statutory text
The Secretary shall—
establish a research, development, and demonstration program to determine the feasibility of using hydrogen propulsion in light-weight vehicles and the integration of the associated hydrogen production infrastructure using off-the-shelf components; and
identify universities and institutions that—
have expertise in researching and testing vehicles fueled by hydrogen, methane, and other fuels;
have expertise in integrating off-the-shelf components to minimize cost; and
within 2 years can test a vehicle based on an existing commercially available platform with a curb weight of not less than 2,000 pounds before modifications, that—
operates solely on hydrogen;
qualifies as a light-duty passenger vehicle; and
uses hydrogen produced from water using only solar energy.
