Fuel Cells – The Promise & Challenge of Hydrogen-Based Energy: Thursday, March 5, 2009 Time: 5:30 – 6:30 Registration 6:30 – 7:30 Dinner / 7:30 – 8:30 Presentation and Q&A
Fuel cells continue to stir debate as viable power sources for vehicles and other applications: Will they ever be durable or cheap enough? Where will the hydrogen come from? How will enough hydrogen be stored onboard to enable satisfactory driving range? Do they really mitigate global warming?
As population and economies grow, finite resources are consumed, and the environment compromised, improved energy sources and systems are needed to preserve the health of the planet and its people.
Thursday, March 5th, James Cross, VP of Technology & Product Development at Nuvera Fuel Cells, will consider the place of hydrogen in the world’s energy future. Speaker: James C. Cross III: Vice President of Technology & Product Development at Nuvera. James directs the development of advanced fuel cells and fuel conversion devices and oversees the engineering of electrochemical power plants and hydrogen production systems intended for commercialization. He has been with the company since its inception in 2000, and has been working in the hydrogen energy arena for 13 years. Prior to this, James held positions at Epyx Corporation, Arthur D. Little, and Battelle. He earned his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at MIT, and has Masters’ degrees from Princeton and Stanford. http://www.nuvera.com/
