Washington, D.C. - The Hydrogen Education Foundation announced residential fueling with hydrogen as the contest theme for the 2010-2011 Hydrogen Student Design Contest. This year's Contest is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and Proton Energy Systems. Teams of university students worldwide can now register to compete at www.hydrogencontest.org. "Each year, the Contest focuses on a key issue in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry," said Kyle Gibeault, Contest Coordinator. "For 2010-2011 we're looking at hydrogen fueling infrastructure from the residential perspective. Based on our experience in past years, I'm confident we will receive some very innovative and thought-provoking entries from the student teams."
