International Conference on Hydrogen Production 2011

GENPORT will attend the 2011 International Conference on Hydrogen Production (ICH2P-11), to be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 19 - 22 June 2011 at the Science Center and Technology Museum "NOESIS".

The International Conference on Hydrogen Production is a multi–disciplinary international conference on the production of hydrogen through various methods as well as its use in various systems, including fuel cells. It will provide a forum for the exchange of latest advances and technical information, dissemination of new research developments in the areas of hydrogen production and usage and presentations involving the future directions and priorities in the hydrogen economy for a sustainable future. This time the focus goes even beyond hydrogen production with a special emphasis on storage and safety aspects. The conference will have particular value and interest to researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners who are working in the field of hydrogen production technologies, ranging from policy making and technical development to management and marketing. There will be a particular session on developing countries to adopt such technologies by tackling cost and durability issues.

The 2011 International Conference on Hydrogen Production is organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment, Energy & Climate Change, by the Chemical Process Engineering Research Institute (CPERI/CERTH).

The themes of the conference will cover technical topics ranging from the conversion of fossil fuels to the use of renewable energy sources and nuclear power for hydrogen production. Special emphasis will be on new and promising technologies that may provide clean and cost effective hydrogen for widespread commercial applications.  Processes for the gasification of coal and biomass, thermochemical systems, photochemical systems, renewable energy sources or solar technologies such as concentrated solar systems and development of above technologies will be included.

To extend beyond technical areas, social aspect of hydrogen (policy making, hydrogen infrastructure development, environmental concerns, regulatory actions, standards development, safety, storage, commercialization, education and training) will be covered.
