The U.S. Department of Energy sponsored the Hydrogen Codes and Standards Coordinating Committee Fuel Purity Specifications Workshop on April 26, 2004. Attendees included domestic and international codes and standards representatives, researchers, government officials, and industry members.

The purpose of the workshop was to gain a better understanding of who is doing what in developing fuel purity guidelines and standards in terms of objectives, definitions, scope, timetable, and participants; and to develop a rough work breakdown structure of the fuel purity issue for the total "fuel cycle" for which purity requirements must be defined. The group developed a preliminary outline of an R&D plan for hydrogen fuel purity, including a consensus "mini-template" for hydrogen fuel purity specifications that delineates key areas of effort, lead and supporting organizations for each area, and a preliminary outline for an R&D plan with key tasks, timetables, and budgets. The R&D plan for fuel purity will be incorporated in the Codes and Standards R&D Plan, which the Codes and Standards Tech Team of the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership is preparing.
