Hydrogen Energy Technologies Workshop: Safety, Installations, and Permitting
Patrick Serfass, National Hydrogen Association

Preceding the main program for the Fuel Cell Seminar, the National Hydrogen Association will hold a ½-day workshop entitled "Hydrogen Energy Technologies - Safety, Installations, and Permitting." The workshop will be on Monday, November 13, 2006 in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Hawaii Convention Center.

"Hydrogen Energy Technologies" is aimed at technical individuals who would like to learn more about hydrogen energy technologies and the application of codes and standards that relate to them. The course will also be helpful to those involved with permitting hydrogen energy systems. National Hydrogen Association member experts and featured speakers will present technical data and lessons learned from real permitting and installation experiences.

Through the workshop you will:

  • Learn the status of key hydrogen standards, including hydrogen fuel, hydrides, electrolyzers, and storage and dispensing equipment;

  • Gain insight into the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute's fuel cell test facility with a focus on safety systems, permitting required and operation;

  • Understand the ever-changing US model codes that pertain to hydrogen energy technologies, including fuel cells and how they might apply to you; and

  • Become more familiar with an array of technical resources you can use beyond this workshop to keep abreast of changes in this evolving area.
