Presentation of the 3rd WIH2' 09
The present energy system is based on a non closed cycle. It uses fossil energy resources which are being depleted fast and leaves non re-usable products in the atmosphere, causing serious and even irreversible damage to the earth, air and water. All these problems are threatening the future mankind energy security and prosperity.
Many scientists and experts agree that these global problems would be resolved by replacing the existing energy system by the one based on a closed cycle.
In this context, the use of an energy carrier like hydrogen seems to be the most attractive way for the near future to achieve no/less consumption of natural energy resources and no/less CO2 emissions.
Following the successful conferences in Alger in 2005 and Ghardaïa in 2007, the CNRST looks forward to welcoming you to Rabat (Morocco) for the attending to the 3rd International Hydrogen Workshop in 2009.
The scientific programme will focus on research activities, significant technology breakthroughs, opportunities and sources for funding, in addition to potential barriers in the following areas:
- Hydrogen production (Renewable energies…).
- Hydrogen storage and transport.
- Hydrogen utilisation technologies
- Hybrid systems.
- Hydrogen Economy.
The Workshop will also feature speakers from around the world who will address scientific, technological, societal, and economic implications of the emerging hydrogen economy.
We look forward to seeing you in Rabat in October 2009.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Conference will include plenary lectures, oral presentations and posters. A social program is planed in the region of Rabat.
CONTRIBUTED PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS
