Senate Briefing Announcement: IEA Collaborations in Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Science and Technology (July 31)
A briefing on July 31, 2009, 10:30-11:30 am in 628 Dirksen Senate Office Building
International Energy Agency (IEA) Collaborations in Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Science and Technology: Global Investments in our Energy, Economic and Environmental Future
The International Energy Agency (IEA) Hydrogen Implementing Agreement (HIA) is the largest and longest lived global collaboration in hydrogen RD&D. Founded in 1977, the IEA HIA (www.ieahia.org) now has 22 members, including the European Commission, and it continues to grow. IEA HIA facilitates and manages a coordinated portfolio of RD&D and analysis activities in hydrogen production, storage, conversion, safety, integrated systems, economics and marketing.
The IEA Advanced Fuel Cell Implementing Agreement (IEA AFC) was created in 1990, with 19 members. Its aim is to enhance understanding in the field of advanced fuel cells. The IEA AFC (www.ieafuelcell.com) program includes RD&D and system analysis on Molten Carbonate (MCFC), Solid Oxide (SOFC) and Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) systems.
Cooperation in basic and applied RD&D will continue to reap benefits for hydrogen and fuel cell technology development and implementation, and ensure a sustainable energy, economic and environmental future.
Please join us to hear our speakers discuss the activities and accomplishments of these global IEA RD&D collaborations:
Mary-Rose de Valladares, MBA. Manager, IEA HIA Secretariat
Mark C. Williams, Ph.D. Former Alternate Representative for U.S.A. to the IEA AFC and Former Manager, U.S. Stationary Fuel Cell Program
This briefing is being held in cooperation with the National Hydrogen Association (www.hydrogenassociation.org).
