Pre-registration is closed

You can register on site beginning at 8:15am on March 21 for the morning session, and at 11:15am for the afternoon session.


The workshop will

  • Convene equipment developers, manufacturers, end users, and expert stakeholders to discuss important performance requirements for material handling equipment, and the impacts these requirements have on onboard energy storage needs.
  • Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of current onboard energy storage technologies (i.e., batteries, ultracapacitors, propane, diesel, hydrogen, and methanol) for meeting your material handling performance needs, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Workshop purpose

The information from this workshop (combined with feedback from the on-line questionnaire and other workshops) will be used by NREL to identify performance needs and gaps for further research and development of onboard energy storage in fuel cell powered material handling equipment. Public results will be published in the Fall of 2011.
