This year to support the ongoing efforts underway in Hawaii and to facilitate the use of Hydrogen as a transportation fuel, we are pleased to announce the 2019 Hawaii Hydrogen Festival on National Hydrogen Day.
This is a much needed follow up to the 1990 World Hydrogen Conference that was held
in Hawaii.
In partnership with the Hawaii State Energy Office, HCATT, the USGBC, and Hawaii Gas, we will be bringing together Hydrogen engineers, planners, managers, policy makers, and manufacturers from Hawaii and all over the world. Our intent is to also invite Hawaii students so that a new generation (let’s call them “Generation H”) can learn about the promise that Hydrogen offers to their generation.
We have come a long way. In 1990, Mercedes Benz sent a prototype Hydrogen car. In 2019 we have Toyota Mirai Hydrogen cars being offered for lease in Hawaii. We have operating Hydrogen buses and ideas to use Hydrogen made from fuel cells- running on methane or biogas - for electric utilities. Hydrogen is used in industrial ware houses for forklifts, for heavy equipment, and for trucks. What was once in the realm of science fiction is being rapidly integrated into the fabric of daily life in Hawaii and elsewhere.
“Zero Emission Hydrogen vehicles have arrived in Hawaii and we want to celebrate!”
Why attend
The conference will focus on the lessons learned from existing Hydrogen projects and provide information and thoughts on how we can further ongoing efforts to make Hydrogen a part of our everyday life.
Continuing education — Build and Buy Green 2018 will be approved by GBCI and AIA for CEU credits.
