Preliminary Program subject to change
T6002 Frontiers in Hydrogen Technologies
OverviewThe session deals with all aspects of "The Hydrogen Chain" including hydrogen production, purification and storage. The session would primarily discuss new, alternative and under-development technologies for carrying out all of the above mentioned operations. Half-an-hour panel discussions as part of the session would be an opportunity for experts as well as new entrants to network and learn from each other.
