WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9 AT 12:00PM PT. The global energy landscape is changing at a rapid pace. Many nations in the world are answering the call to action to contribute significantly to an overall reduction in greenhouse gases. In the United States, California is a leading example with its goal to achieve 100% clean energy by 2045. Utilities are accelerating their plans to achieve these aggressive goals.

Renewable energy is the fastest-growing of all electricity sources. However, renewable energy introduces a high level of intermittency due to changing weather conditions and variations in solar irradiation. The transition to 100% clean energy will require solutions for storing excess renewable energy to be used on-demand.

Hydrogen is one particularly attractive option to convert excess renewable energy via electrolysis, which is often referred to as “Green Hydrogen”. Green Hydrogen has the potential to make renewable energy the backbone of energy supply in multiple economic sectors. Green Hydrogen can be easily stored and used either as a direct fuel for mobility or as a feedstock for various industries, e.g. petrochemicals or agriculture. In a vastly decarbonized world, Green Hydrogen will realize long-term, seasonal power-to-power storage on a large scale. Re-electrification will be possible in H2-capable gas turbines, engines, or fuel cells to provide security of electricity supply in periods of low renewable energy supply.

This webinar will address:

· how green hydrogen will be a catalyst to a green economy.

· What are the latest technology developments for large-scale industrialization of green hydrogen, and potential applications for utilities and industries?

· What are the benefits and challenges of this energy transition?

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15TH AT 10:00AM PT. The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is announcing a webinar on Tuesday, December 15, 2020, from 1–4 p.m. (ET) to discuss key findings from its recent Request for Information (RFI). The RFI gathered input from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to medium- and heavy-duty freight trucking. The RFI and webinar discussions will help identify gaps and barriers to commercializing new technologies, and help inform DOE's R&D and competitive funding strategy into the next ten years.

On October 9, 2020, EERE's Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) released the RFI soliciting input on five categories:
1. Freight Operational Efficiency and Systems
2. Internal Combustion Engine, Powertrain, Fuels and Emissions Control
3. Batteries, Electrification, and Charging of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Trucks
4. Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Trucks
5. Other Important Considerations
Responses to this RFI were due on November 9, 2020.
 

Register for the webinar.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3 AT 1:00AM PT. The "IPHE Policy Forum: Hydrogen - The New Global Commodity?" What is the best way into a Hydrogen future?

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2 AT 5:30AM PT. IPHE will host a free Webinar powered by Mission Hydrogen. Topic: "Hydrogen Valleys: Policies and Actions at a Regional Scale". Patrick Child, Deputy Director General, Research and Innovation, European Commission, provides insights into the latest policy developments regarding the Hydrogen (H2) Valleys as part of national and regional Hydrogen strategies, especially from the perspective of Mission Innovation. Markus Kaufmann, Senior Project Leader, Competence Centre Civil Economics and Infrastructure, Roland Berger will present the initial findings from more than thirty H2 Valley initiatives that Roland Berger is analyzing as part of the H2 Valley Platform Initiative, supported by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking under MI: IC8.

You can expect exciting presentations of the Hydrogen Valleys and how they have been put into practice:
Randolf Weterings - Business Manager, New Business Development - Port of Rotterdam
Jacob Goldberg - Environmental Specialist - Port of Los Angeles
Neil Kermode - Managing Director - European Marine Energy Centre
Nick Smith - Executive Director, Growth and Low Carbon Division, Department for Energy and Mining - Government of South Australia

Discuss with us in the Q&A session that follows. It is worth it!

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30 AT 8:00AM PT. The global automotive fuel cell market size is projected to reach USD 24.81 billion by the end of 2027. California, Germany, South Korea and China are all speeding up the installation of hydrogen fueling stations. The profitability of these sites is expected to remain low for the next three to five years until there are enough cars on the road.

The push from companies such as Shell,Total, Nikola and Hyundai, which distributed its first fuel cell trucks in Switzerland this month, shows the clear potential that this technology can have for society and the fueling industry.

Join Oscar Smith Diamante, Editor-in-Chief PetrolPlaza, Executive Director, Bill Elrick and two industry leaders from Europe and the U.S. for the next episode of PetrolPlaza Talks. Find out more about the challenges and opportunities provided by the hydrogen mobility sector.

The Zoom session is free but has limited spaces. Those unable to enter will be able to watch it live on YouTube.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 FROM 10:00AM - 11:30AM PT. The Clean Off-Road Equipment (CORE) Voucher Incentive Project will be holding a public meeting on December 1, 2020, to provide end-users, manufacturers, and dealers updates regarding the Project.

Topics to be covered in the webinar include the following:

• Updates to the Project
• Updates on Project funding
• Proposed changes to the Project

CORE Public Workgroup Meeting Details:
Date: Tuesday, December 1, 2020

Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions or comments ahead of the meeting.

What is the CORE Voucher Incentive Project?
The purpose of the CORE Project is to accelerate the commercial deployment of zero-emission off-road freight technologies by providing a streamlined approach for purchasers to offset the higher cost of such technologies. CORE vouchers are available to purchasers on a first-come, first-serve basis, with increased incentives for equipment located in disadvantaged communities.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24 AT 9:00AM PT. Join the H2IQ Hour on November 24, 2020, at 12 p.m. ET, to learn about activities at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to evaluate, test, and validate the integration of hydrogen production technologies and the electrical grid.

Electrolyzers, which use electricity and water to produce hydrogen, have the potential to stabilize electrical demand while producing valuable hydrogen for target end-use applications. The H2IQ hour will highlight findings from research and demonstration efforts validating how electrolyzers can support grid services. For example, electrolyzers can help minimize the demand spikes from intermittent fast charging of BEVs by providing a constant power demand, while producing valuable hydrogen. In addition, the H2IQ hour will discuss how these efforts support Departmental and EERE-wide initiatives including H2@Scale and Advanced Research on Integrated Energy Systems (ARIES).
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.
