CSP - Hydrogen and fuel cell applications Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract
Hydrogen and fuel cell applications ~## Opportunities and Challenges: As part of this workshop, the PI will invite industry partners and academia to share their views and visions of implementing hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in various areas, such as,public transport, and residential and commercial buildings. This workshop also serves as a platform for the same minded individuals to network and catalyzes ideas for other collaborations, as well as help to create a fuel cell community of interest in young researchers in Singapore. There will be two invited speakers from USA giving talks on Fuel Cell technologies and the other on hydrogen infrastructure. b. The US Navy plans to derive half its energy supply from renewables by 2020, for both strategic and environmental imperatives. Technology to collect and store locally-available but intermittent solar, wind, wave or tidal energy can offer naval assets a strategically and tactically important additional capability, in place of exclusive reliance on petroleum fuels. The US Pentagon estimates the cost of refueling forward bases at up to $107 a litre. Today~s defense forces are also often involved in emergency relief and community development missions, where setting up a basic local electricity supply is a first priority. Energy storage will remains a critical component missing from the current technology portfolio and new and improved technologies will be essential to the future of renewable energy. Fuel cells will be a critical component of that energy future and this project aims to improve the overall performance of fuel cells. c. Code 33 d. This workshop aims to exchange latest technical information, recent advances and new developments in the area of sustainable energy, and the debate and shaping of future directions and priorities for better environment, sustainable development and energy security.
