In the past decade, research has demonstrated the very high potential of fuel cells for pollution-free, fuel flexible and energy efficient power generation. Governments and the automotive industry alike have taken this hydrogen challenge seriously, investing heavily in advanced research and technology development. Industry analysts have predicted that fuel cell technologies will play a key role in a future global economy, with Europe leading the way in world class hydrogen technology. Yet many questions still remain: What are the hydrogen and fuel cell myths? What challenges lie ahead for hydrogen? What are the solutions?
This conference will provide a premier setting for business representatives and engineers from around the world to network as well as share their own experiences and perspectives. Each panel session aims to consider alternative solutions to the hydrogen challenge, tackle key questions and to better understand how governments, automotive industries and researchers can collaborate to create a future for zero-emission transport.
