Workshop: Hydrogen fuel quality assurance for PEM fuel cells

Information

Location: Trondheim (to be announced)
Address: Trondheim, Norway
Start: 06/06/2017 - 13:00 Add to calendar
End: 07/06/2017 - 14:00

3rd HYCORA workshop

Hydrogen quality assurance is a guarantor for PEM fuel cell life; thus, key to the success of hydrogen as an energy carrier.

Identifying critical needs to develop nozzle sampling methods and hydrogen contaminant analysis tools through data collection and modelling to guide research on impact on PEM fuel cells of selected hydrogen fuel contaminants by qualitative and quantitative risk assessment is in the focus of the HyCoRa project funded by FCH-JU.

The workshop will combine R&D and industry in the whole value chain, from hydrogen production via distribution/dispensing to end use, to discuss relevant hydrogen fuel quality topics.

Presentations will also summarize the final research results of the HyCora project to steer panel discussion eventually to allow OEM proving feedback and their views.
