NHA Presents to International Audience
by Karen Miller, National Hydrogen Association
The National Hydrogen Association presented two papers at the Hydrogen & Fuel Cells 2003 Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver, British Columbia earlier this month. The first presentation was titled Progress of Creating Codes, Standards, and Regulations for Hydrogen Energy Systems. The presentation described the NHA’s interest in codes and standards, and presented the process used in the United States to codify technical requirements. It also described the NHA’s role in demonstration activities, including educating permitting authorities, creating outreach materials to facilitate public support, assisting with the application of existing and developing codes and standards to ongoing demonstrations, and feeding lessons learned back into the codes and standards process, to improve safety and performance of future hydrogen energy activities.
The NHA also presented the Policy Paper, On the Road to Hydrogen: Policy Priorities. This living document, adopted by the membership of the NHA on March 5, 2003, is available on the NHA’s website at www.HydrogenAssociation.org. NHA members may comment on the paper at any time. All comments will be addressed, with changes recommended by the Policy Committee posted on the NHA Members’ Only page for member review. To suggest changes on the Policy Paper, please email Redline/Strikeout Word file to Karen Miller, at kmiller@ttcorp.com.
