SATURDAY, APRIL 23. SAVE THE DATE! CEC’s 2022 Santa Barbara Earth Day Celebration, Saturday, April 23 at the historic Arlington Theatre. 

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27 AT 12:00PM EASTERN. Hydrogen is fast emerging as a promising substitute for fossil fuels, as truck OEMs, engine manufacturers, and suppliers accelerate the development and launch of hydrogen-fueled commercial vehicles. While fuel cells tend to dominate the discussion, hydrogen combustion engines also are advancing to proof-of-concept testing on their path to production. Speakers in this 60-minute Webinar discuss the latest advancements and address the benefits and challenges to both hydrogen avenues, including infrastructure build-out, application suitability, cost, and technical hurdles to be resolved. An audience Q&A follows the technical presentation.

THRUSDAY, FEBRUARY 17 - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18 AT 8:00AM CENTRAL. Join CaFCP's Executive Director; Bill Elrick and members at the 2nd America Hydrogen Forum in Houston, TX. Countries across the world are seeking for a sustainable, cost-effective and easily applied source of energy. It is important to come up with solutions that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are technologically feasible - hydrogen could definitely be part of the answer and become the key component of the U.S. clean energy mix in the future. China, Japan and the European Union states have been actively investing in hydrogen infrastructure development and research, and the USA seems to be lagging behind in terms of unlocking hydrogen potential.

Hydrogen has enormous potential to become an important part of a decarbonized energy system and the USA should accelerate the process of laying the policy, commercial and technological foundations for GHG-free hydrogen production and utilization.
The American Hydrogen Forum will provide a platform for relevant stakeholders from the government, research, technology and service sectors to join a clean energy debate and collaborate in searching for sustainable hydrogen economy solutions.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13 AT 9:00AM PACIFIC. This is the second in our series of virtual workshops designed to help public fleets and communities consider if renewable hydrogen has a place in their transition to zero emission transportation. In this program we will focus on electrolysis technologies that use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen. Beyond hydro power, we will also look at how solar, wind or other distributed energy resources could play a role.

Our panelists will address questions including: 
• What are the chief technological and economic considerations, costs and benefits, and emissions factors?
• How practical are electrolysis systems for centralized or on-site production?
 

We’re pleased to announce our speaker panel:
• Dustin McLarty, WSU
• Matthew Weaver, NEL Hydrogen
• Cam LeHoullier, Tacoma Power
• Gillian Charles and Steven Simmons, NW Energy Council
• Gary Ivory, Douglas PUD

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8 AT 9:00AM EASTERN. The purpose of this workshop is to come to a consensus within the industry around the appropriate failure rates to use when conducting Risk Assessments for Hydrogen sites or projects. This workshop will aim to cover 10 -15 components, beginning with those included in the Hydrogen Risk Assessment Model (HyRAM) and ending with additional components identified by workshop attendees. During the workshop, attendees will:

1.) Brainstorm the different types of failure modes for Hydrogen components.

2.) Start with HyRAM data and agree upon or further define each component rate. A vote will be taken after each component discussion to confirm if there is industry consensus.

3.) Define rates for additional components not define in HyRAM. A vote will be taken after each component discussion to confirm if there is industry consensus.

4.) Discuss when do leaks become a hazard.

There is no cost to attend this workshop. The workshop is invitation only, please complete this form to request an invitation.
