WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31 AT 3:30PM EST. The 2025-2035 timeframe will bring fundamental changes to the cars and trucks we drive, from the growing market share of electric vehicles to deployment of automated vehicle technologies.

At the request of Congress and the Department of Transportation, the National Academies evaluated how internal combustion engine, hybrid, battery electric, fuel cell, nonpowertrain, and automated vehicle technologies could contribute to vehicle efficiency in 2025-2035, and the impact of these technologies on consumers, manufacturers, and vehicle regulations. The report provides cost and effectiveness estimates for future fuel efficiency technologies and discusses how the current Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards should be updated to reflect new technical, economic, and policy developments.
Learn more about the report’s key findings and recommendations by joining members of the committee for a public briefing webinar on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 from 3:30-4:30pm ET.

THURSDAY, APRIL 29 AT 2:00PM EDT. MW/GW scale water electrolysis projects are expanding as the world works to decarbonize energy and transportation sector with renewables and hydrogen use. As the scale and quantity of proposed and planned projects increase, so do unique safety challenges related to renewable energy storage, electric grid stabilization, H2 fuel generation and other applications. Don’t let potential safety issues go undetected in projects involving intermittent power source integration, enclosure safe atmospheres, safe turn-down limits and integration with storage and fueling uses.

Join this sponsored webinar and hear hydrogen systems and safety consultant Larry Moulthrop identify and discuss the safety issues electrolysis project developers need to be aware of and how to put into place the proper safeguards and controls to mitigate them. Going forward, your projects will benefit from the practical solutions you learn here, including early specification, safety planning and operational planning. 

Topics include:

• Recommended practices for safe installation into hydrogen equipment enclosures and buildings
• Code informed co-location with other systems, such as hydrogen refueling systems
• Potential issues related to oxygen by-product venting and management
• Turn down thresholds related to H2/O2 mixtures
• Developing standard tests for electric grid and renewable connection compatibility
• Existing water electrolysis safety standard ISO 22734:2019

TUESDAY, APRIL 13 AT 10:00AM CT. As we move toward economy-wide deep decarbonization, hydrogen (H2) is positioned as a low-carbon resource and energy carrier with great potential.

What can H2 be used for? How can the nation’s existing gas infrastructure be leveraged? How can new renewable energy technologies be introduced? What role does power-to-gas play?

GTI is exploring options and developing new innovations to support the broader use of H2. From our centralized Hydrogen Technology Center to the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI) with EPRI, we are driving toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. Learn more about these efforts and don’t miss the scenery as we travel the Road to Zero!

THURSDAY, MARCH 18 AT 11:00AM PT. Renewable, ultra-low emissions and high efficiency energy conversion systems will be required to introduce energy resource and environmental sustainability. In particular the dynamic dispatch, massive energy storage capacity, and ubiquitous transmission and distribution of energy that the power-to-gas and hydrogen energy storage concepts provide will become essential to enable a 100% renewable economy. In addition, these concepts enable zero greenhouse gas and zero criteria pollutant emissions energy conversion that spans across applications in the built environment, to transportation, to utility grid network support and sustainability. Recent research on the dynamics and control of electrochemical energy conversion systems to enable this future with the hydrogen vector will be discussed.

THURSDAY, MARCH 4 AT 1:00AM PT. Prof. Dr. Katsuhiko Hirose will report from the FC Expo Tokyo 2021 in the beginning. He will then move on to the topic "How can we move from current fossil based economy to a sustainable (Hydrogen) society?".

Renewable energy and hydrogen will play an important role but current economy is based on the very simple way to evaluate the sum of monetary benefits based on the thermal vale of energy. 
​​​​Societal value is differentiated by society and there are no simple formula to evaluate. However we need to build up and develop the proper methodologies.

Prof. Dr. Hirose has been struggling to bring the environmentally friendly technologies into the society such as Hybrid and FCVs for years by trying through the many attempts such as Hydrogen Council's reports.
He will talk about his experiences. He says: "I hope my experiences will help the audience to think deeper and to develop the methodologies to evaluate the societal benefit of hydrogen into their own economy or develop the message to your policy makers to build policies."

Sustainability is not just the sustainability of energy nor environment. Most important aspect of sustainability is life sustainability.
Life is the combination of environment and economy.

During the webinar Prof. Dr. Hirose would like to discuss the development of basic ideas on building the societal value into the real-world economies.

We will discuss the Hydrogen Value as
1. Renewable Energy Reservoir and "Milk-Cheese-Conversion", Thermal Value and Economic value
2. Zero emission power source for the rotational turbine for whole grid systems.
3. Hydrogen can be part of a basic structure of carbon neutral Energy/Social system to support both energy system and economy.
4. Material is necessary.

Thus Hydrogen system can be more basic infrastructure for future human being, material to build carbon neutral future sustainable society than just electricity.
