This symposium aims to address the new hydrogen economy and its positive impacts on both climate change and environmental sustainability issues. Despite tremendous progress in innovation of new materials, systems, and technologies for hydrogen production, separation, storage, utilization, and integration with hybrid technologies, many challenges are yet to be addressed. This symposium aims to bring together relevant technical communities to share advances in materials (ceramics, metals and alloys, polymers, and composites), processing, components integration, and systems for various technologies which are relevant to the overall hydrogen economy. The obstacles hindering the full exploitation of a hydrogen economy for zero anthropogenic carbon emissions will also be discussed along with future research and development directions.
