More Info:
Dr. Corgnale holds a PhD in mechanical engineering and is internationally recognized for his expertise in renewable energy systems, with a focus on hydrogen systems and thermal energy storage. He has been involved in the design, assessment, and testing of hydrogen production processes, hydrogen storage, thermochemical energy storage systems, and hydrogen compression and delivery systems.
He has conducted techno-economic-financial studies, material development research, and coordinated experimental tests for cryogenic adsorbent systems, high-temperature materials, and high-pressure hydrogen absorption systems. At the US Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence, he developed techno-economic analysis models for solid-state hydrogen storage systems and transport models for carbon and metal-organic framework adsorption materials.
Dr. Corgnale has led several multi-million-dollar projects funded by private entities and the DOE, including renewable energy-driven hydrogen production plants like wind electrolysis plants, photoelectrochemical hydrogen production systems, thermochemical hydrogen production systems, alternative hydrogen compression systems (metal hydride compressors), and stationary regenerative fuel cell systems.
