Hydrogen Workshop

Stanford’s Hydrogen Focus Group will convene an invitation-only workshop on the Hydrogen Economy.  This workshop will cover three main areas of the hydrogen economy:  Hydrogen Generation, Hydrogen Transport & Storage, and Hydrogen Utilization.  Various pathways for each category will be compared along standard metrics, gaps in knowledge identified, and technical breakthroughs needed for technical viability reviewed.  The presenters are recognized global leaders in industry, academia, and/or government who can speak with authority on the latest research and most current status of each pathway.  

In addition to the research and education agenda, there will be ample opportunity for networking during breaks, meals, and a student poster session.  This workshop will be dialogue-focused, as opposed to a focus on presentations.  As such, all presentations will be brief and to the point, and each section will conclude with a moderated dialogue and question and answer session.  

To promote retention and review, audio recordings of the workshop will be captured and shared with all attendees along with the presentation slides (please see our Video/Audio Release terms).  In addition, a whitepaper will be created as an output from the workshop and shared with all attendees.
