http://www.hpath.org The Partnership for Advancing the Transition to Hydrogen (PATH) is a not-for-profit international coalition of hydrogen associations that seeks international cooperation to help advance the transition to hydrogen as a carbon-free energy carrier and a solution to environmental and energy issues. About the Report: PATH is in the process of compiling a comprehensive paper and presentation about where hydrogen as an industry stands in the world today. The paper will divide the world into regions (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Pacific, and South America), focus on individual countries within those regions and report on their visions and actions in regards to hydrogen power. The paper will describe all aspects of the hydrogen supply chain to end use, from the mining of raw materials and inventive new ideas to futuristic demonstrations and the creation of 21st century technology. The research will have a wide focus to form a broad base of knowledge and will explore why individual countries desire a transition to hydrogen, how they expect to benefit, what hurdles stand in their way, how they plan to make it happen, and where they currently are in the process. This research will also document government funding, academic research, existing demonstrations, planned demonstrations, new innovations from industry, and any other unique ideas coming from an individual country. About the Podcasts: The Podcasts are the interviews of representatives of national hydrogen associations of other organizations that are involved in the hydrogen industry. They share their view on hydrogen developments in their country, each according to their own personal engagement with the field. Conducting the interviews is Brian Schorr, PATH's Program Manager. en-us PATH Mon, 23 Oct 2009 11:00:47 GMT tdscripts.com Podcast Generator path@ttcorp.com 1 Partnership for Advancing the Transition to Hydrogen The Podcasts are the interviews of representatives of national hydrogen associations of other organizations that are involved in the hydrogen industry.
