Low Carbon Energy Systems with Hydrogen & Fuel Cells

SHFCA 9th Annual Conference: Weds 11th & Thurs 12th October 2017
Technology Innovation Centre, 99 George Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G1 1RD

 

The 2017 Scottish Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Conference takes place in Glasgow on Wednesday and Thursday 11th-12th October. This two day event will showcase the pivotal role for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in making the transition to low carbon integrated energy systems.
SHFCA members and delegates will hear expert speakers during sessions on international trade and partnerships, and how hydrogen and fuel cells can be the smarter choice in Heat, Power, and Transport for low carbon deployments. Linking all of these activities together into smart integrated energy systems of the future is the underpinning theme of Hydrogen as the flexible and clean energy vector.
