HEC Friday Sessions are weekly webinars on topics of interest, presented by HEC members every Friday at 12:00 noon. These sessions will be free to participants, and are geared towards facilitating open discussions and dialogue on key topics of interest in the hydrogen industry. Here is the current schedule of the HEC Friday Sessions:

  1. Decarbonizing the Gas Grid with Hydrogen – Cover the ways in which hydrogen is introduced into the gas grid, including direct injection with blending, and the synthesis of methane with hydrogen and carbon-dioxide. 

  2. Bulk Long Duration Storage with Hydrogen – Look at the salt cavern projects around the world being developed for long duration bulk hydrogen storage and power production.  Include the SDG&E project in Utah, and the Mitsubishi project in east Texas.  Include discussion of gas turbines modified to operate partially on hydrogen. 

  3. Decarbonizing Long Haul Trucking with Hydrogen – Present the truck manufacturers that are pursuing hydrogen fuel cell trucks for long haul trucking and include some discussion of the fueling infrastructure approaches. 

  4. 100% Hydrogen Pipelines – Present the initiatives, layouts and end-uses being considered for 100% hydrogen pipelines. Include a discussion of hydrogen boilers available on the market.

  5. Power Production with Hydrogen – Review power projects and technologies being used or considered for producing power with hydrogen.

  6. Building a Global Trade in Hydrogen – Look at the bulk transport of hydrogen, including ships that have been built and specific technologies being applied, such as compressed hydrogen, liquified hydrogen and liquid organic hydrogen carriers. 

  7. Electrolysis and Water Splitting – A review of the technologies available for splitting water, including PEM, alkaline, thermal splitting, solar thermal splitting, etc. 

  8. Hydrogen Production with Carbon Separation – Technologies and approaches being used to decarbonize hydrogen production, including SMR with amine separation, methane pyrolysis, etc.

  9. Wind to Hydrogen – Look at specific wind electrolysis projects, including scale, technology, transportation, end-uses, etc.
