The event will focus on early market fuel cell applications such as forklifts and auxiliary power units (APUs). On April 28th, the workshop will provide a forum for the leadership of code development organizations, OEMs, integrators and industrial gas companies to identify barriers to rapid deployment of early market fuel cell technologies. The goal of the meeting is to identify the role and scope of risk-informed codes and standards development to enable the rapid deployment of early market fuel cell applications. The workshop will include panel discussions with representatives from Nuvera Fuel Cells, Plug Power, Air Products, NFPA, UL, CSA, and others. Full Meeting Agenda (33Kb PDF).

Did you know? Did you know that the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Safety Report reported on a similar DOT-DOE workshop held in December, 2009? DOE has made the proceedings to that meeting available online, and a link is provided in the previous Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Safety Report article.
