Activities

1.- Information
  •  Coordinates the distribution of information to members and non-members:

To partners:

  • First level: define criteria for distributing information received at the AeH2’s Technical Secretariat.
  • Second level: Newsletter for partners.

To non-members: define criteria to know what information should be given to non-members when requested.

2.- Dissemination
  • AeH2 website: it will be the task of this committee to give guidelines and draw up proposals for content to be included on the AeH2 public website, in accordance with the objectives and aims of the Association.
  • External image of AeH2: In general terms, there should be a corporate identity manual and a manual of functions. In the absence of these, general and specific recommendations can be established, which will be refined with the “jurisprudence” that we accumulate. In addition, this committee will validate any action. At least validate the contents of corporate material.

Activities

Establishes and maintains contacts with the different administrations (national and regional), and national institutions and associations, with the aim of increasing coordination among different entities.

This Committee works in coordination with the Spanish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform (PTE HPC) in the preparation of an Action Plan to promote hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in public administrations. To achieve coordination, the Association will establish direct communication with the Autonomous Communities, both politically and through energy agencies or equivalent. Thus, the first step towards coordination will be a process of exchange of information with the administrations.

Given its relationship with regional and national administrations, it will be the task of this Committee to identify financial support programs (related to events organization, dissemination, promotion, the publication of informative material, creation and maintenance of web pages, and other aspects related to regulations and standards) from which the AeH2 can benefit, as well as to inform AeH2’s partners of the financial support that they can enjoy.

This Committee plans the events to be organized by the AeH2 and decides on the national events in which it should participate. Regarding the events included in the annual Activity Plan, it must ensure that the planned calendar is respected and that the commissioning of the events respects the objectives of the Association. This committee shall evaluate the events in which AeH2 will participate and the modality of its participation (speaker, sponsor, exhibitor, attendee…). The committee must also be informed of the events in which AeH2, without receiving a prior invitation, may be interested in participating (GENERA, Science Week, congresses, events, conferences…), as well as evaluating the modality of its participation in the event.

Activities

Establishes and maintains contact with the EHA, EC-HFP, IEA, and non-Spanish institutions and associations. Aims to establish a coordination plan to improve the national position in intra-national and international institutions and organizations.

As AeH2 is a member of the European Hydrogen Association (EHA), this committee will give indications to the AeH2 representative regarding guidelines, voting decisions, and similar, as well as channeling the information received according to its nature to the Board of Directors, institutional partners, or to all partners.

When international organizations request the participation of the AeH2 to present the national opinion in a specific forum, in an event where there is not an AeH2’s representative appointed, the Committee will recommend an expert to carry out this task.

The most relevant information from international activities (EC-HFP, IEA…) will be selected to be disseminated in AeH2.

Identify financial support programs at the international level from which AeH2 and its partners can benefit.

Identify, collect and disseminate information related to educational programs among AeH2’s partners.

Select quality documentation related to Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies existing at the international level, and make it available to AeH2 partners.

At the scientific level, the tasks of this Committee will:

To study the most efficient way to inventory national research groups with activity in hydrogen and fuel cells, establishing channels of communication both among them and with companies; to detect areas of work in which to carry out activities.

Identify groups of experts in subjects indirectly related to hydrogen, such as renewable energies.

Identify and select the most relevant documents and scientific publications to transmit the information to the Association partners.

At the technological level, the Committee will carry out work on:

With a clear engineering and business orientation, the committee will promote the wider use of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. To this end, it will detect the main obstacles to the widespread use of these technologies, seeking in each case solutions to technological barriers (through projects and developments), economic barriers (studying the advisability of establishing subsidies, with their structure and amount), and in relation to safety and regulations (in particular supervising the work of the AENOR CTN 181 Committee).

The Committee will be responsible for the technological evaluation of patents’ information received by AeH2.

It is agreed that this Committee will be responsible for organising AeH2’s participation in technical sessions.

It will be responsible for drafting press releases quickly and for reviewing press releases produced by the AeH2 technical secretariat. “Press releases” include those requested by the media and those that might be sent by the committee in response to the increasing amount of news on hydrogen and fuel cells.
