HySafe makes good PR for ICHS in Hannover

The 21st group exhibit “Hydrogen + Fuel Cells + Batteries” was held from April 13 to 17 as part of the Hannover Fair. The group exhibit is one of the most important commercial events for this field in the world.

150 exhibitors from 24 countries were present. One of them was HySafe. The International Conference on Hydrogen Safety will be held this year, and the Hannover Fair is always a good forum to direct visitors’ attention to this event. HySafe board members A. Tchouvelev, Th. Jordan and U. Schmidtchen jointly did their best.

But also apart from this the group exhibit is an excellent opportunity for the association to make contacts to other players from the field, as fas as still necessary, and to alert the public to hydrogen safety matters.

Forum presentations for the public were used two times to demonstrate the state of hydrogen safety and what HySafe contributes to it. Have a look at them here:

Enero Workshop on Energy Risks

The workshop recently organised in Brussels was dedicated to the safety of renewable energy. Two presentations concentrated on hydrogen, see http://www.enero.eu/page.asp?id=126&langue=EN. The first given by C. Proust from INERIS showed some interesting results of experiments with type 4 vessels. The other presentation given by T. Jordan KIT showed the results and services of the HySafe network.

Joint undertaking implicitely safe?

Regarding the EC activities there is (surprisingly?) not a word on safety on the next FCH JU General Assembly 26/27 October 2009  in Brussels; see http://ec.europa.eu/research/fch/pdf//stakeholders_general_assembly_2009_programme.pdf#view=fit&pagemode=none
Besides there is the research grouping assembly on Wednesday 28th October 2009. Let’s make sure HySafe is duly represented!
