This symposium focuses on the role of hydrogen technologies and a modern fuel economy in enhancing energy security, resilience, and sustainability. As efforts intensify to diversify energy sources and reduce vulnerabilities across supply chains, tremendous progress has been made in innovation of advanced materials, components, and systems, for hydrogen and other alternative fuels (methane, biofuel etc.) production, separation, storage, utilization, and integrated hybrid technologies. However, many challenges that limit the widespread deployment of alternative fuel technologies at scale are yet to be addressed. This symposium brings together relevant technical communities and experts to share advances and breakthroughs in ceramic, metallic, polymeric, and composite materials, innovative processing, components integration, and systems engineering that enable reliable, efficient, and secure hydrogen energy systems and overall fuel economy. The obstacles hindering the full exploitation of a modern fuel economy will also be discussed, along with future research and development directions.
