Steering Team

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. The Hydrogen Hub: Building a Value Chain will be the first major event where all the communities in the hydrogen hub value chains will come together in one spot to discuss how to launch a new national hydrogen economy. Leaders from transportation, industrial gas distribution, pipeline, carbon-free hydrogen production technology and renewable energy communities—communities that normally don't communicate amongst themselves in the ordinary course of events—will be on hand to share their perspectives on what is needed to form an efficient and effective value chain to commercialize clean hydrogen production and distribution.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20 AT 1:00PM PACIFIC. The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a remote-access workshop to present and gather stakeholder feedback on the Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Infrastructure Plan (ZIP). A quorum of commissioners may participate, but no votes will be taken.

The workshop will be held remotely, consistent with Assembly Bill 361 (Rivas, Chapter 165, Statutes of 2021) to improve and enhance public access to state agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The public can participate in the meeting consistent with the direction provided below. Please note that the CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted and the end time is an estimate based on the agenda proposed. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time depending on various factors.

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, SEPTEMBER 8 AT 9:00AM (PACIFIC). The 2022 Scoping Plan Update will assess progress towards achieving the Senate Bill 32 2030 target and lay out a path to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2045. CARB will initiate development of modeled scenarios to illustrate outcomes that lead to carbon neutrality. Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are powerful climate forcers that have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes. These pollutants include the greenhouse gas (GHG) methane, hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), and anthropogenic black carbon. Because SLCP impacts are especially strong over the short term, acting now to reduce their emissions can have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change and public health. This workshop provides an opportunity for stakeholders to provide input on key questions related to future policies and technologies to reduce SLCPs along a pathway to carbon neutrality. The workshop will discuss methane emissions from oil and gas sources, landfills and organic waste, and dairy and livestock operations; HFC refrigerants; and anthropogenic black carbon.  This workshop will inform the 2022 Scoping Plan Update. Stakeholder input and feedback are encouraged.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26 - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28 AT 10:00AM (EASTERN). The 2021 DOE Office of Electricity Energy Storage Program Annual Peer Review assembles researchers from across the DOE landscape to summarize the state of the art in energy storage research, development, and application. Technical topics will include Innovative Deployment Projects, Power Electronics, Grid Integration and Interoperability, Equity and Resilience, Policy, Safety and Reliability, Analytics, and Battery Chemistries and Technologies.

Daily keynotes and roundtables will address leading topics in energy storage.
