Governments worldwide are offering subsidies, grants, and tax incentives to accelerate the development and commercialization of hydrogen technologies, including PEM fuel cells. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has been supporting PEM fuel cell research and development through programs including the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office. In addition, the fuel cells are being integrated into Power-to-Gas and Power-to-Liquid systems, where excess renewable energy is used to produce hydrogen, thereby supporting to provide grid stability.
