NHA Codes and Standards Workshop Goes Hollywood!
The National Hydrogen Association held its latest semi-annual
Hydrogen Safety, Codes and Standards Workshop in Hollywood
California on April 29, in conjunction with their 15th Annual
Hydrogen Conference and H2Expo USA.
44 people participated in the interactive dialog on current
issues facing those developing and permitting hydrogen energy
projects, including pending and planned future modifications
to US model codes, hydrogen quality for fuel cell vehicles,
and perception issues regarding hydrogen leak detection methods.

Hydrogen Safety Codes and Standards Workshop in Los Angeles,
California.)
Resources for additional information for project planners,
permitting officials, and other interested parties were also
described. These include the new permitting guides for regulators,
which currently cover stationary fuel cells and hydrogen vehicle
refuelling stations, resources available from the California
Fuel Cell Partnership, and websites including www.fuelcellstandards.com
and www.hydrogensafety.info.
Below you'll find a list of the presentations that were delivered
during the workshop. If you know of any published reports
on odorants for hydrogen applications, please send the information
to Karen Hall at khall@ttcorp.com.
The NHA would also like to recognize its sponsors, the U.S.
Department of Energy and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, for their generous
sponsorships of the workshop.
The next NHA Hydrogen Safety, Codes and Standards Workshop
is being planned for September 2004, possibly in California.
If you are interested in hosting a future NHA Workshop, or
would like to see a specific issue addressed at a future workshop,
please email your ideas to Karen Hall at khall@ttcorp.com.
