NOTES:  AHANW has a cheap way to make electrolyzer membranes! High efficiency solar cells!!

Greetings and Introductions: Chapter President, John Gotthold, greets all attendees and asks each attendee to state their name and a short synopsis of their background and what they hope to learn by attending the meeting. 10 minutes.

1. Transportation: Honda H₂ sports car, with Clarity power. HYRBAN - hydrogen powered small car. Kia Borrego FCEV - fourth generation -100 mph and 350 miles per charge. Mercedes-Benz Blue zero - slick - in electric, gas hybrid, fuel cell hybrid. Boeing - H₂ powered, uncrewed planes. H₂ Microcab running in Birmingham . Australian H₂ racer. New lithium-ion battery recharges to 90% capacity in five minutes. H₂ powered FC tractor at SIMA. Tata motors FC bus. H₂ dirigibles making a comeback. Solar powered car completes round the world trip!

2. Hydrogen Technology: Nano-reactor, 5 ccs and thinner than a razor blade. Nanoscale semiconductor photocatalyst for breaking up hydrogen sulfide for H₂. Virent Energy makes gasoline from sugar. Honda MCHP 1.8 kW max. H₂ atoms always result in N doping of zinc oxide. Solar H₂ in 100 kW plant. Solar pavements within five years? Low cost Polymer photocatalyst - carbon nitride. Bio-fuel waste, glycerol, turned into H₂ - DuPont. Sunrise Coast hydrogen community. Serious wave energy - main problem is getting power back to shore. Sweden - H₂ balls - safe H₂ fuel? Methanol fuel cells - new material increases power by more than 50% by stopping crossover.

3. Hydrogen Business: Solar panel glut in 2009? US Army base H₂ refueling center. Horizon Fuel Cell - 100 watt to 5 kW air blown - for sale. PowerTap - from Nuvera-Kusters Zima -fuel processor + compressor + cascade storage system + indoor/outdoor dispenser. Seoul to build two H₂ fuel plants. Electrolysis for atomic subs. H₂ materials handling. Vatican to go green with huge solar roof. Charleston - Yeager Airport - hydrogen fueling.

4. Government Support to Hydrogen: DOE and EPA publish updated energy efficiency plan. Feed-in tariffs are the law in England . France raises solar feed-in tariffs. Australia clean coal plan. The future is energy efficient buildings! UK law - decarbonization! US national green energy plan. CA H₂ Highway - station funding. CA - all electricity retailers must be 33% green by 2020. One third of EU electricity to be green by 2020. IEA says $3.6T to replace all polluting power plants. CA ordered to prepare for sea level rise. UK held first EU carbon auction. Anti-renewable midnight regulations by Bush administration.

5. Global Warming and Oil Depletion: Unconventional gas to dominate by 2010. GHGs up to record up 1.4% in 2007. ASPO still fixed at 2010. Venice flooded. DEATH MAP - heat greatest hazard to US. Over 2 trillion tons of ice melted by global warming since 2003. WATER - the forgotten crisis - there will not be enough water to go around by 2025!!!

6. Outline for AHASVC Certificate: Round up. Are we ready to post first certificate?

7. Demonstration or Video: IER M-2-DEMO electrolyzer hardware to be shown!!
