“The hydrogen education foundation promotes hydrogen energy technologies through student scholarships, innovative national championships, and educational programs to encourage environmental stewardship, improve energy security, and create green jobs.”

“Hydrogen student design contest: an educational effort to stimulate college students to think about hydrogen and develop innovative technology to be showcased. The contest will create a forum for university level students studying a variety of disciplines to apply their academic skills and creativity to the design of a hydrogen system. Hef anticipates that each year, based on a different theme, dozens of multi-disciplinary student teams from around the world will design a comprehensive hydrogen system that is evaluated by a team of judges based on the aesthetic design, engineering, economic viability, environmental impact, safety and marketability.”

“The h-prize, enacted by congress, authorized the secretary of energy to create a program to competitively award cash prizes that will advance the commercial application of hydrogen energy technologies by dramatizing and incentivizing accelerated research. The h-prize was originally established by the energy independence and security act of 2007, in sec. 654. There are several h-prize categories, including production, storage, distribution, utilization, and prototypes and transformational technologies.”

“Washington fuel cell summit: a one day seminar hosted by the hydrogen education foundation, on june 19, 2012, was a gathering between industry leaders and legislative and agency personnel to engage in an open exchange of information and dialogue around the remaining challenges and obstacles to large-scale introduction of hydrogen and fuel cell technology into the marketplace. Public perception and awareness are key challenges that remain unfulfilled. This event satisfies a key objective of the hef, which is to establish programs and outreach activities, like the fuel cell summit, that encourage environmental stewardship, improve energy security, and create green jobs.”
