AIChE Selected by DOE to Lead New Hydrogen Electrolyzer and Fuel Cell Recycling Consortium
Among the recipients, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) was selected to lead H2CIRC, a new “recovery and recycling” consortium charged with developing innovative and practical approaches to enable the recovery, recycling, and reuse of materials and components for hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers.

- This development will be supported by federal funding to be awarded to AIChE for the Hydrogen Electrolyzer and Fuel Cell Recycling Consortium, which totals $50 million over five years.
- Additional DOE funding is being awarded for projects including low-cost, high-throughput electrolyzer manufacturing; electrolyzer component and supply chain development; advanced technology and component development; advanced manufacturing of fuel cell assemblies and stacks; and fuel cell supply chain development.
- AIChE and its consortium partners will establish a blueprint across the industry for recycling electrolyzer and fuel cell systems and components, aimed at securing long-term supply chain security and environmental sustainability.
