THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14 AT 10:00AM PACIFIC. SoCalGas® invites you to a webinar featuring Sandia National Laboratories, that will cover nanoscale metal hydride composites for efficient storage of hydrogen on board heavy-duty vehicles. These materials have the potential to store and deliver hydrogen at the right pressure and energy-density required to meet Department of Energy (DOE) targets. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles could help decarbonize the transportation sector and reduce emissions in high-traffic corridors such as the South Coast Air Basin.

Speakers:

Mark Allendorf: Dr. Mark D. Allendorf is Co-Director of the DOE Hydrogen Materials – Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) and a Senior Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California. Dr. Allendorf is past President and Fellow of The Electrochemical Society and has received Sandia awards for research, leadership, and teamwork, as well as a 2014 R&D100 Award.

Vitalie Stavila: Dr. Vitalie Stavila is a Task Lead in the DOE (HyMARC). A central theme in Dr. Stavila’s research is the rational design of new materials by changing the chemical composition, the arrangement of the atoms or molecules in crystalline or amorphous configurations, and the size, shape, and orientation of nanoparticles, crystals or other nano- or macroscopic units.

Moderator:

Michael Lee, Technology Development Project Manager, SoCalGas Research, Development and Demonstration

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2 FROM 9:30AM - 6:35PM. Join Technical Program Manager; Nico Bouwkamp at the Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Fueling Infrastructure Forum. rought to you in partnership by GO-Biz, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) 

Nico Bouwkamp will speak during the Statewide Perspective Session from 10:45am - 12:00pm 

The Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Market Development Strategy published by the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) establishes four pillars for successfully moving the California fleet to 100% ZEVs. These four pillars are:  Vehicles, Infrastructure, End-Users, and Workforce. In order to transition to ZEVs, all four pillars must be successful.

Recognizing that demand for ZEV fueling infrastructure is already significant, and will increase with the introduction of the growing number of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MDVs/HDVs), GO-Biz, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) are collectively bringing together public and private partners to provide an overview of the efforts underway in the State to meet this demand.

The forum will provide information on California State agency efforts to determine, manage and fund the infrastructure needs, as well as the efforts of our public and private partners to meet the demand for zero-emission fuels and develop robust fuel delivery systems, while collaboratively incorporating the priorities of local communities and improving community health and creating jobs.

Morning Session: 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PT / 12:30 p.m. – 3 p.m. ET
Afternoon Session: 1 p.m. – 2:20 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. – 5:20 p.m. ET
Evening Community Session: 5:30 p.m. – 6:35 p.m. PT / 8:30 p.m. – 9:35 p.m. ET
