THURSDAY, JUNE 18 AT 6:30am PT. The International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE) will bring industry and government leaders together to identify of the challenges, opportunities, policies, and mechanisms to accelerate global-scale deployments of hydrogen across the economy.

The forum will kick off with a series of keynotes from Cabinet-level officials from the US, IEA, Europe, Japan and Australia, as well as from leaders from global hydrogen and fuel cell organizations.

It will also include a moderated panel with industry leaders identifying new opportunities and areas of collaboration between industry and government that can enable a global vision for hydrogen and fuel cells.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17 AT 11:00AM PT Several states have established visionary goals to reduce their climate footprints, with many striving to achieve carbon neutrality within the next 30 years—including California, Colorado, New York, Oregon, and Massachusetts. The achievement of these ambitious goals will be challenging.

Join us for a 1-hour webinar to hear key findings from the recently published Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) report, “Getting to Neutral." Attendees will learn strategies that can enable states to accelerate their efforts to fight climate change. 

One of the report’s lead authors will share an analysis on how California could achieve carbon-neutrality by complementing the state's ongoing mitigation efforts with negative emissions technologies that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, making use of the state's natural biomass and geologic advantages. The first-of-its kind study—which documents how carbon neutrality can be achieved at a very modest cost, and using available technology—was the topic of extensive discussion within California state government, and spawned the introduction of multiple bills in the legislature.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 at 8:00AM PT,Fueling cost of hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty vehicles (FC HDVs) must be competitive with other fuel/vehicle technologies. The methods of hydrogen packaging, delivery and fueling impact the hydrogen cost at the dispenser. Furthermore, there is a tradeoff between well-to-wheels carbon intensity of hydrogen and its cost.

​​​​​​​This webinar discusses the various pathways for hydrogen production, delivery and fueling, and proposes a pathway for low cost hydrogen fueling of FC HDVs.

Tuesday, May 26 at 1:00pm PST. Fleet operators that seek to reduce their emissions to zero, both at the tailpipe and at the source, have few options. Fuel cells hold significant potential for zero emissions. This webinar will address how a fleet can develop the required infrastructure to fuel their fleet with hydrogen and what renewable hydrogen options are available for a true zero emission fleet operation from wells-to-wheels. Join the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC) and ACT News for a webinar on renewable hydrogen production and infrastructure for transit, trucking, cargo handling equipment fleets.

This webinar will provide insight into:

• How renewable hydrogen is produced

• The options available for fleets to build hydrogen refueling stations at their depot

• How fleets can ensure a reliable supply of hydrogen fuel at their stations

• Funding opportunities for renewable hydrogen

Speakers: 

• Emanuel Wagner; Deputy Director - California Hydrogen Business Council
• Professor Jack Brouwer; Director - National Fuel Cell Research Center

Live Webinar, Wednesday, May 20th at 8:00am PST. Electrification is the path to green commercial transport, but to succeed, it must match diesel on cost, functionality and reliability. In commercial vehicles, hydrogen has long held promise for enabling a functional replacement of diesel with an electric powertrain, however high costs due to expensive components and complex system designs have limited their mass market adoption.

Ben Nyland from Loop Energy will provide an overview of the medium and heavy duty vehicle sectors and how market barriers can be addressed by lowering fuel cell manufacturing costs.

Live Webinar, Wednesday, May 13th at 8:00am PST. Offshore wind energy promises to reach 4,000 full-load hours or more. It is a great match for green hydrogen production, as electrolysers need to be operated as many hours per year as possible. A new study commissioned by Agora Energiewende has analysed offshore wind expansion scenarios for Germany and scrutinized the assumption of 4,000 full-load hours.

How many full-load hours can offshore wind effectively reach in the German North Sea at very high installed capacity densities?

To answer this question, the Technical University of Denmark and the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry simulated interaction effects between wind farms and the atmosphere. They used two physically-based methods of very different complexity to get to the same insight: The more intensely offshore wind energy is being used at increasingly larger scales, its full-load hours are likely to decline. This requires better resource potential estimation methods and planning approaches.
