Abstract

A Congressional Research Service report examines the organization, funding, and goals of the FreedomCAR and Fuel partnerships, and explores legislation relevant to the partnerships. FreedomCAR and the President's Hydrogen Fuel Initiative (originally named FreedomFuel) are two complementary government-industry research and development (R&D) initiatives that promote the development of hydrogen fuel and fuel cell vehicles. Coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy, these initiatives aim to make mass-market fuel cell and hydrogen combustion vehicles available at an affordable cost within 10 to 15 years.
