Welcome to the Advanced Manufacturing
Technologies forHydrogen Energy SystemsProgram
Workshops

• Sponsored by
• The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences
• The U. S. Department of Energy
• (Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
  Energy The Hydrogen, Fuel Cells Infrastructure
  Technologies Program)

2
This is NCMS

• Organized under the National Cooperative Research
  Act (NCRA) of 1984 formed in 1986
• Largest cross-industry collaborative RD
  consortium in North America
• Devoted to manufacturing technologies, process,
  and practices
• Nearly two decades of experience in the formation
  and management of complex multi-partner
  collaborative RD programs

3
NCMS Mission

• The NCMS mission is to lead the rapid
  development of cross-industry RD programs to
  build the global competitiveness of its
  manufacturing industry partners.

NCMS/DoE Program Advanced Manufacturing
Technologies for Hydrogen Energy Systems (AMT-HES)

• NCMS partnering with
• The U. S. Department of Energy
• Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
• The Hydrogen, Fuel Cells Infrastructure
  Technologies Program

9
DoE Program Objectives

• Working with DOE and the private sector, identify
  and develop critical manufacturing technology
  assessments vital to the affordable manufacturing
  of hydrogen-powered systems.
• Leverage technologies from other industrial
  sectors and work with our extensive industrial
  membership base to do feasibility projects on
  those manufacturing technologies identified as
  key to reducing the cost of the targeted
  hydrogen-powered systems.

10
Approach

• Identify Manufacturing Hurdles to
  Hydrogen-Powered and Storage Systems
• Rank as to impact for producing affordable
  structures
• Institute collaborative development projects that
  address the manufacturing technology issues
  deemed of highest impact.
• Provide a clearinghouse of information to promote
  technology utilization

11
Workshop Objectives

• Each workshop will focus on defining near-term
  opportunities in the 2-5 year range for
  application-oriented manufacturing technology
  development for Hydrogen Storage (Day 1) and
  Hydrogen Fuel Cells (Day 2) Systems.
• Workshops will identify and prioritize key
  manufacturing technology enablers needed to
  achieve production volume ramp-up and production
  affordability in systems. The key manufacturing
  issues will then help drive the NCMS
  collaborative RD project agenda for its AMT-HES
  program.
