Info

in the Task 22 meetings have been continuously stressed by the OA. This is one of the most important reasons for the strong interest to attend the Task 22 meetings by the international leading experts in the field. As usual there were very good discussions. The presentations and discussions in the Engineering/Applied hydrogen storage session gave an overview of different important applications of hydrogen storage materials, and with a strong emphasize on the important link between research related to materials development and applications. New future hydrogen storage task (to follow task 22 after November 2012) was discussed in a special session on Monday evening. The Chair of the IEA HIA ExCo, Dr. Jan Jensen participated in this session. He gave an overview of the IEA HIA as an introduction to the discussion. It is a strong interest from the Experts to establish a new task following Task 22. The proposed title is “Hydrogen-based energy storage technologies” The first proposal for a new task will be prepared by the OA for the ExCo-meeting in Fukuoka, Japan. More details about the new task will be discussed in the Task 22 meeting in Heidelberg in May 2012 and the plan is to present the final proposal at the ExCo meeting in Canada in June 2012. A web-site: www.hydrogenstorage.org is available for the Task 22. It includes information about the Experts, short information about the Task 22 meetings and the annual reports from each project. However, unfortunately the web-site is still not updated, but this is planned to be done as soon as possible. Status of milestones Task 22 started in December 2006. The 9 th Experts meeting was organized 4-8 September 2011. The presentations of the projects show a significant progress related to new solid compounds for hydrogen storage, the use of catalysts, better understanding of varieties of properties of the materials, and interesting and promising examples of applications of solid compounds in demonstration and also more industrial projects. However, still further work has to be carried out to reach the international goals for hydrogen storage. Different types of applications need different properties of the hydrogen storage system, and thus development in different directions. International collaboration as obtained within Task 22 will be a key for a possible solution of this challenging problem. It is still a significant international activity is this field, but there are concerns in several countries about reductions in funding. Abbreviated Work Plan and Milestones for next months The following meetings will be 6-10 May 2012: Heidelberg, Germany (organized by Dr. Maximilian Fichtner). The final Task 22 meeting is planned to be in Kyoto, Japan, 26-27 October 2012 with Dr. N. Kuriyama and Prof. Y. Kojima as organizers. It will linked to the MH2012 (the main hydrogen storage materials meeting organized every second year) Effectiveness of Task Participation The participation in Task 22 is very good. Most of the Experts were present at the meeting in Copenhagen, and 38 out of 48 projects were presented by the Experts themselves or by proxies. This shows that participation in the IEA HIA Task 22 meetings is given a high priority by the Experts. 6
