Abstract
This guidebook aims to educate potential project site personnel and regional planners on various considerations to be evaluated when pursuing a hydrogen fuel cell project on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund site for on-site energy generation needs. The guidebook leads a fuel cell non-expert through many of the drivers, real world issues, and decision points they would face and need to evaluate in considering whether – and determining how – to implement a fuel cell project. The assumption made in the document is not that a fuel cell project will necessarily happen (thus providing the implementation steps) but rather that the decision-maker must determine if their site is a good match for a fuel cell, or where a fuel cell would work best over a portfolio of potential sites. Therefore, this guidebook is essentially an “evaluation tool,� which lays out a variety of considerations that a decision-maker may come across and would need to “evaluate� before considering a fuel cell project. To that end, the guidebook does not evaluate all of the EPA cleanup program sites but rather sites managed under the agency’s Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 [CERCLA]) cleanup program where a long-term pump and treat remedial system has been selected or implemented. The purpose of refined site criteria is not intended to exclude other types of cleanup program sites. Use of these refined criteria intends to focus and fine-tune the direction and considerations evaluated in the guidebook.
