1st International Workshop on Functional Materials for mobile Hydrogen Storage, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Research Centre Geesthacht, September, 20 - 22, 2006

From September, 20 until 22, 2006 the "1st International Workshop on Functional Materials for mobile Hydrogen Storage" took place at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. Approximately 45 scientists from whole Europe informed themselves about current developments in the area of hydrogen storage materials.

In eleven talks scientists from eight European research institutes renowned in the field of hydrogen storage materials presented their latest research results. These talks were complemented by four lectures from representatives of the automobile industry covering current developments in the realization of hydrogen-powered vehicles. In lively discussions during the workshop and at the evening meeting the participants discussed these contributions.

The result of the meeting was, that the current research in the area of hydrogen storage materials is on a promising way. However for commercially applicable and economical hydrogen storage tanks still further efforts in research and development are required.

The "2nd International Workshop on Functional materials for mobile Hydrogen Storage " took place in autumn 2007 at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany.
