  and education agenda in order to develop a rural
  hydrogen transportation test bed for developing,
  demonstrating, evaluating, and promoting
  hydrogen-based technologies in a real-world
  environment.

Hydrogen can be domestically produced, in
whatever quantities you want. We already make 9
million tons of hydrogen per year in USA, enough
to power 35 million vehicles TODAY. From an
environmental sustainability, from an
environmental stewardship standpoint, from an
energy independence standpoint. HYDROGEN
ABSOLUTELY MAKES SENSE

Opportunities

• Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
• Phase I awards are up to 100,000 each for
  approximately nine months to explore the
  feasibility of innovative concepts
• Phase II is for principal research or RD effort,
  with awards up to 750,000 over a two-year period
  
• Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
• STTR projects include substantial (at least 30)
  cooperative research collaboration between the
  small business and a non-profit research
  institution
• Public Private Partnerships (PPP)
• Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are
  contractual agreements formed between a public
  agency and a private sector entity that allow for
  greater private sector participation in the
  delivery and financing of projects
