1st International Workshop on Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) Technologies and Applications

The first international workshop on “Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) Technologies and Applications” was held on September 20, 2017, in Wuhan, China. The primary objective of the workshop was to bring together scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, government officials and investors interested in the topics to discuss opportunities of developing LOHC based technologies and their applications with emphases on fuel cell, hydrogen combustion motor vehicles, and energy storage. Successful development of the technologies is expected to fundamentally change the status quo of hydrogen energy utilization and propel rapid deployment of hydrogen technologies in market place. We lined up with an impressive list of invited speakers ranging from academic scholars, government policy makers and industrial practitioners to speak on hydrogen technologies with an emphasis on applications.

The workshop was a full-day event and the turnout was large. The participants also test-rode on the world’s first LOHC-buses developed in Wuhan. On the 2nd day of the event, the inaugural meeting was held for HITIAC‍ (the Hydrogen Industrial Technology Innovation Alliance.
