Materials Innovations in an Emerging Hydrogen Economy is a new biannual conference that provides an opportunity for global experts in the hydrogen field to discuss materials needs and new technologies related to hydrogen-based alternative energy sources.

Conference Co-Chairs
Dr. George G. Wicks
Savannah River National Laboratory

Dr. Jack Simon
Technology Access Inc.

This conference has a unique interdisciplinary focus, which will generate discussion on applications and technologies in the areas of hydrogen production, storage, delivery and leakage detection. Emphasis will be placed on materials innovations in an emerging hydrogen economy and key questions of importance to current and future researchers and end users will be addressed.

Interactive Technical Program

An exceptional technical program is offered at this event, consisting of invited talks and panel discussions, which will highlight materials, applied and basic research efforts, new materials, composites, and systems for new and exciting advancements.

Special attention will be given to the practical application of technology in the context of the larger ‘system’ rather than at a component level view. Presentations will contain the latest research and developments on applications in the areas of automotive, aerospace, military, medical products, nanotechnology and advanced materials.

The technical program will focus on research activities, materials needs, opportunities and sources for funding in the following four areas:

  • Production
  • Storage
  • Delivery
  • Leakage Detection/Safety

Who should attend this event?

This conference is organized for the global hydrogen community and interested parties, including end users and researchers in government, academia, and industry. The conference is ideal for those working in the field of materials for hydrogen generation, storage and distribution and for anyone interested in participating in this emerging technology.

New to the field? Special tutorials will be included to help orient and introduce the hydrogen field to individuals new to this area and highlight the needs and opportunities that exist.

Join this diverse group of forward-thinking people who are interested in making an impact on the future. Make your plans to participate in this conference!
