**(a) In general** The Secretary, in consultation with other Federal agencies and the private sector, shall conduct a crosscutting research and development program (referred to in this section as the “program”) on technologies relating to the production, processing, purification, distribution, storage, and use of hydrogen energy, fuel cells, and related infrastructure.
**(b) Goals** The goals of the program shall be—
(1) to advance research and development to demonstrate and commercialize the use of clean hydrogen in the transportation, utility, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors; and
(2) to demonstrate a standard of clean hydrogen production in the transportation, utility, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors by 2040.
**(c) Focus** In carrying out activities under this section, the Secretary shall focus on factors that are common to the development of hydrogen infrastructure and the supply of vehicle and electric power for critical consumer and commercial applications, and that achieve continuous technical evolution and cost reduction, particularly for hydrogen production, the supply of hydrogen, storage of hydrogen, and end uses of hydrogen that—
(1) steadily increase production, distribution, and end use efficiency and reduce life-cycle emissions;
(2) resolve critical problems relating to catalysts, membranes, storage, lightweight materials, electronic controls, manufacturability, and other problems that emerge from the program;
(3) enhance sources of fossil fuels with carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration, renewable fuels, biofuels, and nuclear energy for hydrogen production; and

diesel fuel providers, to include biodiesel testing
in advanced diesel engine and fuel system tech-
nology.
(b) Scope
The program shall provide for testing to deter-
mine the impact of biodiesel from different
sources on current and future emission control
technologies, with emphasis on—
(1) the impact of biodiesel on emissions war-
ranty, in-use liability, and antitampering pro-
visions;
(2) the impact of long-term use of biodiesel
on engine operations;
(3) the options for optimizing these tech-
nologies for both emissions and performance
when switching between biodiesel and diesel
fuel; and
(4) the impact of using biodiesel in these
fueling systems and engines when used as a
blend with 2006 Environmental Protection
Agency-mandated diesel fuel containing a
maximum of 15-parts-per-million sulfur con-
tent.
(c) Report
Not later than 2 years after August 8, 2005, the
Secretary shall provide an interim report to
Congress on the findings of the program, includ-
ing a comprehensive analysis of impacts from
biodiesel on engine operation for both existing
and expected future diesel technologies, and rec-
ommendations for ensuring optimal emissions
reductions and engine performance with bio-
diesel.
(d) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated
$5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2006 through
2010 to carry out this section.
(e) Definition
