Directions from I-295: (north and south)
Take
I-295 to exit 28 (formerly 22). This exit becomes Pleasant St., which
is also Route 1. Go through 3 stoplights and the road becomes one way
after the third light. At the 4th light, turn right onto Union St. After
a couple of blocks, you cross a set of RR tracks and the building is
immediately on the left. Park in the rear and enter through the rear
door. The conference room is on the left. The door locks at 6:00 pm so
we should get there just before that time and prop the door open for
each other. In case of a lockout, call security at 725-3314.

Take
Rt. 1 south to Brunswick. Turn left onto Pleasant Street (one-way) when

Fuel Cell Seminar and Energy ExpositionNovember 5-8 at Mohegan Sun http://www.fuelcellseminar.com/mohegan-sun/uncasville,-ct-.aspxTechnology & Economics of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy
For Maine BusinessesOctober 18, 2012, 8:30 AM to noon Simultaneous, live, interactive video-conference sessions by leading firms in the hydrogen energy industry
Presented at University of Maine facilities in Portland, Lewiston, Orono (2 locations) and Presque Isle.
Recent advances put commercial fuel cell and hydrogen energy systems squarely into the marketplace.
Participants joined leaders in the fuel cell industry to explore key applications in Maine –
- On-site combined heat, power, cooling and fuel production.
- Energy storage used in conjunction with wind energy generation.
- Fuel cell energy and chemical production to enhance pulp and paper manufacturing.
- Technology status and economic prospects for fuel cell -powered vehicle fleets.
Continuing education credits were available for some professions. Video/audio recordings of the four workshop sessions can be accessed by clicking on the URLs below.
