The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) held a Hydrogen Transmission and Distribution Workshop on February 25–26, 2014, in Golden, Colorado. The workshop included experts from the industrial gas and energy industries, national laboratories, academia, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology with expertise in the relevant fields. The objective was to discuss and share information on the research, development, and demonstration needs and challenges for low-cost, effective hydrogen transmission and distribution from centralized production facilities to the point of use (e.g., retail light-duty vehicle stations and other applications).
