TRYGVE RIIS HIA Chairman 2002 May 2005 Global interest in the HIA, hydrogen, and the broader topic of energy continued to grow as I served the last four months of my term and prepared to hand over the HIA chairmanship to Nick Beck. During this period, the ongoing activities of our tasks, the HIA’s core business, and our rapidly expanding outreach activities were the main focus of attention. In addition, the completion of the HIA’s reports on gaps and priorities in hydrogen production and storage proved an absorbing activity. The work was undertaken at the request of the Paris Secretariat in satisfaction of Mr. Claude Mandil’s directive to the now sunset Hydrogen Coordinating Group (HCG). With the participation of the entire ExCo, two papers were produced, one in hydrogen production and the other in storage. Along with Elisabet Fjermes tadHagen, I was closely involved in preparation of the production analysis. Dr. Gary Sandrock was primarily respon sible for the storage analysis. The cor responding authors of the papers were Preben S.J. Vie and Oystein Ulleberg. Now on the HIA website, the papers were presented at the Renewable Energy Working Party (REWP) meet ing in April by ViceChair Dr. Antonio GarcíaConde and ExCo member Mr. Ray Eaton. The IEA is expected to publish the papers in hard copy by early 2006. The papers examine the state of the art in hydrogen production and storage and detail current, mid and longterm gaps and priorities in hydrogen production and storage research. They provide the greater hydrogen community with a clear picture of research needs on the road to the hydrogen economy. They also better equip the HIA to manage its future R&D strategy. In the spring of 2005, the HIA held its second quarter HIA Executive Com mittee meeting on the island of Utsira, home of the award winning Utsira wind hydrogen project. This gathering was as much an event as a meeting. The centerpiece of the event was, of course, a tour of the Utsira windhydrogen validation project. Utsira has enough produce hydrogen in an electrolyzer when there is excess wind energy avail able; and it can produce electricity via fuel cell when the wind turbine slows or stops. The HIA took up the matter of an ecutive Committee meeting.

The broader issue of collaboration on the global stage was a matter of ongoing conversation. In my capacity as a member of the EU Mirror Group of the newly launched EU Technology Platform, I served as an informal liaison to the IEA HIA. I also served as the International Partnership for a Hydro gen Economy (IPHE) Implementation Liaison Committee (ILC). The Spring 2005 meeting of the IPHE ILC in Brazil featured discussions about IEA HIA and IPHE coordination and collaboration. For me, the HIA chairmanship has been a most rewarding experience. But the time comes for change, and I was the global hydrogen community. I have Dr. Sato and Dr. Antonio GarcíaConde as well as MaryRose de Valladares, our very capable Manager, will take the implementing agreement to the next level. The end of my term as Chairman also coincides with my departure from the Executive Committee as Norway’s member. Ms. Line AmlundHagen now takes up that role, and I will devote myself to climate change issues for the Norwegian Research Council. I am very proud of the growth in the HIA, in its core R&D work, and the evo lution of its outreach initiative. My thanks go to my colleagues on the Executive Committee, our Operating Agents, the IEA in Paris, and the HIA Secretariat. As I undertake new work in an allied area, I look forward to celebrating the future progress of the HIA and the hydrogen economy with the HIA. NICK BECK HIA Chairman May 2005 Inauguration My term as Chairman began on the windswept hydrogen island, Utsira, with an HIA in robust condition thanks in large part to my predecessor, Trygve Riis. No stranger to hydrogen, I have been involved for 20 years with Natural Resources Canada. As Canada’s HIA member since 1991, I am no stranger to the HIA, either. Consequently, I appreci ate the challenge of leading the HIA to the next phase, but I also welcome the opportunity and look forward to working with my colleagues and friends in this new capacity. Coming into my new role as HIA Chair midyear, the HIA added two new members, New Zealand and Korea, and a new annex, Task 21 Biohydrogen. perature and high temperature produc tion of hydrogen continued. Existing tasks continued to make progress. In keeping with its strategic plan, the HIA is well positioned for more growth in both membership and work portfolio. The HIA had a series of success ful outreach engagements, external to the IEA, over the second six months of 2005. These engagements included exhibits at three conferences and nearly a dozen oral presentations devoted to the overall HIA story. As I began my chairmanship, the need for hydrogen collaboration, espe cially with the IPHE, was intensifying. As the potential for IPHE duplication and overlap with HIA activities increased,
