1. Indian Workshop: Draft Agenda Now Available
PATH
has just released the preliminary agenda for the International Codes
and Standards Workshop being held August 29, 2009 in New Delhi, India.
The event will be In conjunction with the World Hydrogen Technology Conference. You can access the agenda here. Information regarding registration will be available soon.
2. PATHways Report Update
In
an effort to guide our research for the developing PATHways Report, we have begun interviewing various hydrogen
stakeholders from around the world on recent hydrogen initiates in their
countries. We have recorded the discussions and have made them available to our
PATH members in the form of podcasts on our website. The first podcast is our conversation
with Dr. Ericson de Paula, who is the PATH representative from Brazil and the managing
director at DCT Energia. We will be releasing the interview podcasts weekly.
3. New Website Design!
The
PATH website has undergone a major redesign, allowing better visibility
and content management. All partner organizations may now access the restricted part
of the website, allowing them to post news articles, events and
hydrogen initiatives by themselves. Partners are also able to oversee
the progress on the PATHways report and access contact information of
other partner organizations.
Podcasts and Webinars
are available for everyone, free of charge, and the website is
populated with valuable information all around the global hydrogen
economy.
Surf the website and see for yourself: www.hpath.org
