The Partnership for Advancing the Transition to Hydrogen (PATH), with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Hydrogen Association, is pleased to announce a Workshop for Hydrogen Codes and Standards in New Delhi, India on 29 August 2009! The Workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2009 World Hydrogen Technologies Convention (WHTC2009.com) 26-28 August at the India Habitat Centre, the site of WHTC 2009.
The Workshop will review success stories and lessons learned on hydrogen facilities siting and demonstration projects, and explore synergistic opportunities in codes, standards and regulations development in India and surrounding countries. This will be done in the context of the status of international hydrogen codes, standards and regulations, and will be useful to all countries at an early stage of developing hydrogen safety requirements. Therefore, anyone interested in understanding the challenges faced in India and other countries at an early stage of developing hydrogen requirements, and learning more about the successes from other countries, is encouraged to attend. Participants will have a chance to share the challenges they face. Key outcomes of this event will include coordinated action within India and with other interested countries.
The Workshop will be held from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm, and be followed by lunch. A separate registration is required, along with a nominal Workshop fee ($50 for members of PATH associations, $55 for all others). Registration may be done in advance through WHTC registration or at the door. The Workshop agenda will be available on PATH's website soon (www.HPATH.org).
WHTC 2009 is a biennial event organized under the auspices of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE). The Convention serves as a unique platform for exploring sustainable energy options complemented by novel technological innovations. WHTC 2009 is aimed at the strategists of the energy industry, in particular researchers, policy makers, investors, energy producers and consumers to align their efforts & knowledge relating to the production, usage, handling and safety of hydrogen as an energy carrier.
PATH is an international coalition of hydrogen associations, working together to develop and strengthen the global hydrogen energy industry. For more information, visit www.HPATH.org.
The National Hydrogen Association (U.S.) is a founding member of PATH and represents industry, educational and research interests. For more information on the NHA, please visit www.hydrogenassociation.org.
