The Fuel Cell Technologies Office will present a live webinar entitled "2nd International Hydrogen Infrastructure Challenges Webinar" on Tuesday, March 10, from 8 to 9 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. This webinar will summarize the 2nd international information exchange on the hydrogen refueling infrastructure challenges and potential solutions to support the successful global commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. The information exchange took place in May 2014 at Toyota's Torrance, California, facility as a follow up to the previous June 2013 workshop in Berlin, Germany. Participants included topical experts from Germany, Japan, the United States, Scandinavia, and the European Commission. Key focus areas of the webinar included the station requirements necessary to meet the latest SAE J2601 protocol and the development of alternative fueling protocols, maintaining and measuring purity to the SAE J2619 fuel quality standard, and the availability and accuracy of meters for hydrogen dispensing for 700 bar onboard fueling. Also included was an overview of the current status of key hardware for 700 bar refueling.
