Hydrogen Case Studies Workshop Agenda

Welcome and Workshop Overview

Session 1: National, Multinational, and International Hydrogen Planning

This session focused on large national and multinational plans, such as the European Hydrogen Energy Roadmap, that aim to develop the requisite infrastructure for transitioning to a hydrogen-based transportation system. The presentations outline the drivers, goals, timelines, and current efforts of these plans, as well as potential obstacles to their implementation.

Session 2: Early Adopter Perspectives on Infrastructure Design and Strategic Planning

This session highlighted smaller national and regional hydrogen infrastructure plans in which there are plans to build infrastructure in the near future. The presentations outlined drivers, goals, timelines, and current planning efforts, but with a specific focus on the implications of building infrastructure in the short-term and the results the projects hope to achieve by being early adopters.

Session 3: Small-scale Case Studies of Hydrogen Infrastructure

This session focused on city- and station-level case studies of hydrogen infrastructure. The topics ranged from the design and implementation of individual fueling stations to infrastructure design for large metropolitan areas. The presentations highlighted the planning tools that were used and lessons learned during the process.

Panel Session: Lessons Learned from Current Activities and Insights for Future Planning

This panel discussion included many of the speakers from the previous day as well as representatives from energy and auto companies who discussed the lessons learned from past and current experiences in designing and implementing hydrogen infrastructure and vehicles. The goal was to identify broadly applicable lessons that can be used to guide future infrastructure and strategic planning.

Panel participants: Daniel Sperling (UC Davis), Uli Buenger (Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik), David Joffe (Imperial College), Rick Zalesky (Chevron), and Giorgio Zoia (BP).

Poster Session: Graduate Researchers present their research

Participants were provided the opportunity to directly interact with the Hydrogen Pathways Program researchers during the poster session. Each researcher were available to discuss feedback and questions concerning their research with workshop participants on a one-on-one and small group basis.

Session 4: Regional Analytic Case Studies of Hydrogen Infrastructure

This session focused on analytic methods for optimizing hydrogen infrastructure design in various regions throughout the world. The presentations highlighted the methods and tools that have been developed to design the cost of potential infrastructure in regions in the U.S. and Europe.

Panel Session: Regional and International Characteristics of Infrastructure Planning

This panel discussion included many of the speakers as well as representatives of many countries and regions, such as China, Iceland, United States, Europe, and South America. The panelists discussed the differences in hydrogen infrastructure planning for specific regions and countries, including those resulting from feedstock availability, economic and political conditions, and the importance of different drivers.

Panel participants: Joan Ogden (UC Davis), Philippe Mulard (TOTAL), B.M. Bansal (Indian Oil Corporation), Thorsteinn Sigfusson (Icelandic New Energy), Margaret Singh (Argonne National Laboratory), and Tabitha Takeda (Natural Resources Canada).
