WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26 AT 1:00PM PACIFIC. What actions and policies from government and private industry are needed to drive the rollout of trucks and heavy-duty hydrogen stations? The Mindful Mobility Tech Talks (MMTT) series is the annual prelude to the Green Transportation Summit & Expo (GTSE), featuring bite-sized presentations and roundtables on cutting edge clean fuels and technology topics you’d normally find at the GTSE. The series revolves around sensible, or “Mindful” ways to approach mobility, including new modes, different fuels, and the latest in low-emission technologies.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13 AT 10:00AM PACIFIC. Join CHBC's virtual meeting on Conversion of Natural Gas Pipelines to Hydrogen. With an ever increasing focus on decarbonizing the gas grid, blending hydrogen into the gas grid and converting gas pipelines to hydrogen are becoming options that are being considered in the U.S. and implemented in other countries. This panel will discuss California’s lack to take action, what other countries are doing, and why hydrogen pipelines are an option to keep the costs of transitioning to a renewable energy economy manageable.

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.
