Websites
A public website for Annex 18
has been established. The URL is
www.port­h2.com/IEA­Annex­18/.
The site also now has links spe­

contact Øystein Ulleberg for access to
the Subtask B Project Room.
FUTURE WORK
The next expert meeting is sched­
uled to be held in Vancouver, Canada
from March 6­9, 2006 at the site of the
by the National Research Council and
Natural Resources Canada. A model­
ing workshop, headed by Dr. Ulleberg
of IFE, and based on the HYDROGEMS
modeling code will follow the meeting.
The UK consortium has agreed to
host an Expert’s meeting in late 2006.
The University of Loughborough (HARI
project) has expressed a willingness to
and host one day of the meeting. It
is expected that the remainder of the
meeting will be held in Glasgow at the
University of Strathclyde.
The most immediate technical ob­
jectives are to:
1) Continue to populate the nation­
al studies and competencies database.
2) Review the Hydrogen Resource
Study.
3) Complete the internal analysis
and reports on the ECTOS, Malmö, and
AIST projects.
tion and HARI studies.
5) Incorporate the DTE Power
Park study.
6) Complete the HARI and EPA­
COP Case Studies.
7) Prepare and publish papers for
8) Develop a proposal for the Task
extension.
The major programmatic objective
for 2006 is to develop a proposal for
Task extension, including the addition of
new members. Other objectives are to
keep the public website up to date and
to foster cooperation with other Tasks,
both within the HIA and other IEA agree­
ments.
If the Task is extended beyond
2006, the members would like to include
the following projects for assessment
under Subtask B, as indicated in Tables
2 and 3 above:
• Italy – “Hydrogen from the Sun”
• US – DTE Power Park
• New Zealand – Totara Valley
project, which is similar to HARI
and would make a very good
comparative study
• Germany – refueling station
(TBD)
Also, if the Task is extended, the
material gathered under Subtask
A needs to be analyzed for lessons
learned and made available to ExCo
members and the public.
The major challenge for Task 18 has
been timely contributions by members
commitments. Also, some members
have had trouble with travel coverage
for meetings.
