MANHASSET, N.Y. — Millennium Cell Inc. said that its proposal to develop a high-volume manufacturing process for fuel cartridges has been awarded a contract by the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences.
The contract calls for a cross-industry collaborative partnership between NCMS and the U.S. Dept. of Energy, to develop manufacturing technologies for affordable hydrogen-powered energy systems including fuel cell components and hydrogen storage systems.
Millennium Cell (Eatontown, N.J.) will lead a team which includes The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), EWI and NextEnergy, to develop critical manufacturing technology that will reduce the overall process and product costs of hydrogen storage technology for near-term implementation in portable power applications. NCMS funding towards the 15 month effort should begin in the third quarter. "We are delighted to be selected by NCMS for this program and look forward to working with an outstanding team to develop low cost manufacturing technology as we transition our hydrogen battery fuel cartridges from prototypes to commercially viable products," said Adam P. Briggs, president of Millennium Cell, in a statement.
