THURSDAY, JANUARY 6 AT 10:00AM PACIFIC. Join CaFCP's Technical Manager Nico Bouwkamp at CHBC's virtual meeting on 200 Heavy Duty Hydrogen Stations by 2035. Globally, the heavy-duty sector accounts for less than 10 percent of the vehicle population, yet it contributes approximately 40 percent of vehicle-generated carbon emissions. This session will discuss policies to accelerate the deployment of heavy duty fuel cell vehicles, develop hydrogen fueling corridors, and the need for infrastructure funding. Panelists will also address the benefits of a focus on hydrogen powertrain and fueling infrastructure over that of other ZEV technologies in terms of cost, operational performance, and impact on grid assets.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16 AT 10:00AM PACIFIC: Join Executive Director Bill Elrick during CHBC's - "Hydrogen’s Role in the Transportation Sector – The path from 200 to 1000 LD stations in California Confirmation" Webinar. 

ARB and CEC recently passed significant funding packages that support charging and hydrogen fueling ZEV infrastructure, recognizing the importance of investing in multiple ZEV options to meet the state’s climate goals. However, more support is needed. This session will cover critical milestones for the transportation sectors to achieve mass-market penetration, including funding programs like AB 8, and challenges like permitting. Initial keynote presentations will provide context, followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A with the audience.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13 AT 9:00AM CENTRAL. Are you considering the opportunity behind blue hydrogen projects? Over the past 18 months, we’ve engaged in, and learned from, about 50 potential projects utilising the Shell Blue Hydrogen Process. These projects include heavy energy users striving to lower the carbon intensity of their products, single entities looking to convert natural gas to clean fuel and consortiums involving a number of smaller emitters collaborating with an anchor emitter.

Join Shell to discuss and learn from the following: 

• Analysis of the scope, type and location of the blue hydrogen projects.
• Discussion of technical factors including pressure and quality of the feed gas and desired hydrogen.
• Important insights into key success factors for hubs and clusters.

Register now and join the discussion on blue hydrogen insights and opportunities. For those who cannot attend the live event, presentation files and an on-demand video recording of the webinar will be available after the event.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2 AT 10:00AM PACIFIC. The curtailment of renewable generation has increased significantly over the last few years in California, and is starting to affect the deployment of new renewable generation. Hydrogen can provide a lot of value, as an energy storage medium, transportation fuel, and to firm up the grid and increase resiliency, especially when produced from low-cost electricity.

This briefing will discuss the opportunity and existing challenges for hydrogen to play a stronger role in the expansion of renewables deployment.

• 10:00 am - Welcome and Introduction: Sara Fitzsimon Nelson, Policy Director, CHBC
• 10:05 am - Opening Remarks – Renewables Expansion and Curtailment in California – A Role for Hydrogen? Angelina Galiteva, Chair, Board of Governors, CAISO
• 10:15 am - Keynote: How the Gas and Electric Grid Benefit from Integration and Hydrogen Energy: Jamie Randolph, Gas Wholesale Marketing and Business Development, PG&E

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7 - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2021. An online technical conference focusing on the development, deployment and industrial integration of next generation electrolysers. The deployment of large-scale electrolysers is the key technological element for the decarbonisation of central industrial and transport sectors. The existing electrolyser technology is now ready for a massive scale-up: In July 2020, the EU Commission has announced an ambitious plan to reach 2 x 40 GW of electrolysers by 2030, targeting 1 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen and 6 GW of electrolyser capacity until 2024. To achieve this ambitious objectives, challenges have to be overcome by industrial users of electrolysers, system manufacturers and other stakeholders within the hydrogen economy. This online conference brings together electrolyser specialists, engineering experts, scientific researchers and other stakeholders to discuss the development, deployment and integration of the next generation of industrial electrolysers.
