TUESDAY, JUNE 29 AT 12:00PM (EASTERN). Please join the Clean Hydrogen Future Coalition (CHFC) for a virtual briefing: Hydrogen 101: Clean Hydrogen Projects & Policy. Our featured speakers will provide an overview of the federal policy outlook for clean hydrogen technologies and discuss hydrogen projects underway in the U.S.

The Clean Hydrogen Future Coalition (CHFC) was founded to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders under a shared vision to promote clean hydrogen as a key pathway to achieve global decarbonization objectives while also increasing U.S. global competitiveness. Modeling by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and others predicts that global climate mitigation efforts will fall short of the 2°C target unless the world’s energy system – from power generation to all end-use sectors – undertakes substantial technological changes. One of the most viable technology pathways that international climate modeling authorities have identified for meeting those climate targets is clean hydrogen. Clean hydrogen has the ability to accelerate decarbonization across all sectors of the U.S. economy, as well as transition existing - and create new - skilled, high paying jobs needed to support the clean energy transition. Multiple domestic industries have identified clean hydrogen as a critical component of their strategy for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emission targets. You can find more information on the CHFC at www.cleanh2.org.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30 AT 10:30AM (PACIFIC). It Pays to Decarbonize – How statewide Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) can help fleets save money with cleaner fuels.

Did you know that fleets using low carbon fuels in Oregon can get quarterly rebates just for using electric forklifts, charging their electric vehicles or fueling their propane pickups? The Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs in California, Oregon, and now Washington State, are complex but innovative statewide incentive programs designed to catalyze low carbon fuel adoption by rewarding users of these fuels. And fleets can benefit.

But what exactly is a California Low Carbon Standard, an Oregon Clean Fuels Program, and a Washington State Clean Fuels Standard...? How can you leverage the programs quickly and easily? What is the value to your fleet? And how can these incentives help you with fleet decarbonization?

Join us for a robust discussion where we will dive into these questions, arm you with the tools and resources to participate in these incentive programs, and hear from fleets currently taking advantage of these unique statewide programs.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30 AT 12:00PM (EASTERN). Join us for an update from the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO). In this H2IQ Hour, HFTO Director Dr. Sunita Satyapal will provide an overview of HFTO’s priorities, budget, and recent announcements, including how those align with the Biden-Harris Administration’s climate goals.

Recently, DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm launched the Energy Earthshots Initiative, the first of which revolves around clean hydrogen and is known as the “Hydrogen Energy Earthshot” or “Hydrogen Shot.” The Hydrogen Shot seeks to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen by 80% to $1 per kilogram in one decade. These efforts will help America tackle the climate crisis and more quickly reach the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while creating good-paying union jobs and growing the economy. Dr. Satyapal will go into detail on how HFTO’s portfolio, reflected in the latest budget request, will drive research, development, and demonstration projects of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at scale to achieve the Hydrogen Shot.  

The H2IQ Hour will include a 45-minute live presentation, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. A recording of the H2IQ will be available on the website after the event.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 21 AT 10:00AM (EASTERN). Join our Saferty and Education Program Manager; Jennifer Hamilton during a one-hour session on, "hydrogen safety codes and standads on a global scale." 

As the emerging hydrogen transportation and stationary power markets grow, so have codes and standards which promote safety. Recently, there have been efforts to harmonize these documents to accommodate a global market. Attend this sponsored webinar to better understand today’s model codes and major standards, where harmonization is taking place and its potential implications and how your new applications have been—or will be—affected.

In one hour, you’ll hear from those directly involved in the development of codes and standards as well as those doing the research that feeds into the proposed changes to existing documents.  You’ll gain a clear idea of what you can do now in response, where to put your resources and how to plan for future energy storage and fueling projects, equipment and design. You’ll explore where the needs are for new applications and what activities are happening to fill in the gaps. In addition, you’ll discover new areas of collaboration with other industry stakeholders.

You’ll learn how to: 

• Understand at a high level the codes and standards landscape for hydrogen and fuel cells application
• Recognize and apply the appropriate documents to your area
• Analyze and make sense of necessary additions or changes
• Identify the correct groups to join for document revision or development
