MONDAY, JUNE 6 AT 11:00AM CENTRAL.HYDROGEN WEBINAR SERIES (EP. 1) A webinar by the International Trade Club of Chicago.

As the world eagerly anticipates Net Zero 2050, groundbreaking energy alternatives like solar and wind have been popularized into the mainstream. Today, in light of the current energy crisis, renewable energy has been widely diversified in order to meet the intense demand for clean and sustainable energy. Hydrogen is a great example of how a renewable energy source can rapidly create its own economy and mobility while simultaneously ensuring energy security. The topics in this presentation include but are not limited to:

• Resource Management & Environmental Protection
• Government and industry collaboration
• Fuel cell technology and its implementation
• Hydrogen supply and distribution methods

Presented by: Keith Malone

Keith Malone brings more than 30 years of public relations and public affairs experience to the California Fuel Cell Partnership, a public-private partnership working to bring zero-emission, hydrogen-powered cars, buses, trucks and other forms of mobility to the Golden State. In addition to communications, he leads education and outreach efforts to legislators, NGOs and other public agencies, and represents CaFCP before news media and at public events. Prior to joining CaFCP, Keith helped multi-cultural nonprofit organizations, elected officials and political candidates communicate and build relationships with their stakeholders.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1 AT 10:30AM EASTERN. Join the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) for a public webinar: Building the Gulf Coast Clean Hydrogen Market. The U.S. Gulf Coast's existing energy infrastructure could give it a competitive advantage for clean hydrogen markets. Join us for our public webinar, Building the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Market, to hear from stakeholders in the region about their current and future economic trajectories for hydrogen production and infrastructure. Expert panels will discuss (1) how the Gulf Coast can leverage its existing hydrogen infrastructure and expertise for clean hubs, (2) how to best utilize the U.S. Department of Energy's hydrogen hub funding to establish a foundation for broader market formation, and (3) the role of current and potential hydrogen offtakers.

Speaker information is forthcoming.

THURSDAY, MAY 19 - FRIDAY, MAY 20, JW MARRIOTT, WASHINGTON, D.C. The two-day event will bring together policymakers, utilities, green energy developers, oil and gas infrastructure companies, technology providers, industry experts and investors to present their perspectives, discuss early projects, and offer possible solutions in shaping the future of green hydrogen in the US. It will provide a platform to discuss and analyse the critical decisions needed to unlock the potential of green hydrogen in the US energy transition strategy.

Large-scale electrolyzers are expected to produce cost-competitive green hydrogen in the near future. Leading developers will showcase projects and present plans for producing green hydrogen. Technology providers will describe their innovations and solutions for ramping up production of green hydrogen.

While the production issues are being addressed, transport and storage of green hydrogen pose a huge challenge in the future. To address these, experts will present their solutions to build the needed infrastructure for transporting and storing green hydrogen.

The event will also feature sessions to discuss what's needed to build commercial-scale projects and explore the options and investor interest in financing these projects.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6 AT 8:00AM PACIFIC - The California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) is one of the biggest industry/government collaborations worldwide. California is a pioneer in hydrogen mobility. As of May 31, 13,806 fuel cell cars were sold and leased in the US, 66 fuel cell buses are in operation in California, 76 FCEBs are in development and 56 hydrogen stations are available.

in this webinar, Nico Bouwkamp, Technical Program Manager at California Fuel Cell Partnership will showcase current projects and gives an outlook on the future developments in California.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 18 AT 12:00PM - PACIFIC. Hydrogen has the highest chemical activity of any fuel, is 75% of known mass in the universe, and reacts with oxygen from our atmosphere to form water. As such, hydrogen has always been the fuel of choice for both high performance and clean energy applications. So why are we still using inferior fuels? Logistics. Although hydrogen is the best of fuels by many measures, it is also the worst of fuels when it comes to storage and transport. Currently over 90% of small merchant hydrogen in North America is distributed via cryogenic liquid tanker truck. Once stored, parasitic heat transfer results in boil-off losses typically between 7-40%. This webinar breaks down the fundamentals of hydrogen storage and cooling with the potential to achieve zero-boil-off storage in a cost-effective way. Although many challenges remain to be solved, the purpose of this talk is to emphasize the new tools and opportunities making this cool fuel an exciting research area for several decades to come.

FRIDAY, APRIL 29 AT 11:00AM PACIFIC. There are approximately 12 million medium-and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV) in the United States, representing about 5% of all vehicles on the road and 30% of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. There are distinguishable differences between MHDV and light duty vehicles and the same carbon abatement strategies may not apply to both sectors.

The Fuels Institute commissioned Guidehouse Insights to establish a baseline framework for evaluating the emissions contributions of the medium- and heavy-duty transportation sectors and the potential viable solutions that could be applied. In this webinar, we would like to share the results of the report, which specifically sought to demonstrate the diversity and complexity of the medium- and heavy-duty sectors to help accelerate identification of emissions solutions that will yield the greatest benefit at the lowest achievable cost by enabling decision makers to consider the unique applications of each type of vehicle.
