Your Next Car Will Be Fueled by Hydrogen: The National Hydrogen Association (NHA) Announces a Call for Papers

    WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 -- A breakthrough in hydrogen technology
is in the wings. Hydrogen fuel is on the brink of becoming a common and
affordable source of energy for powering homes, vehicles and industry. The
National Hydrogen Association (NHA) seeks papers that will give the world a
picture of what this new, hydrogen-powered world will be like. Selected papers
will be read at the NHA Annual Meeting, February 29 to March 2, 2000, Tysons
Corner, Virginia, and published in the Conference Proceedings.

    Suggested topics include:
    1. Communication: Marketing Hydrogen to the Media. What is the message?
       Who are the audiences?
    2. Benefits to the Public. How will the introduction of hydrogen into our
       energy mix solve issues such as global warming, national security and
       urban pollution?
    3. Research. An overview of current research projects -- including
       innovative hydrogen production and storage solutions, and fuel cell
       materials -- taking place at corporate, university, and national
       laboratories.
    4. Developments and Demonstrations. A global survey of current hydrogen
       technology projects including domestic and international partnership
       efforts.
    5. Energy Policy. International and domestic energy policy issues and
       their impact on the use of hydrogen technologies.
    6. Space. Hydrogen's role in space programs and its place in plans for
       future exploration and colonization.
    7. The Automobile Industry. An examination of how automakers can adapt to
       the new technology, and how fuel cells and storage issues will come
       into play.
    8. Mass Transit. How can hydrogen be used to help solve the energy,
       pollution, and urban planning challenges mass transit will face in the
       future?
    9. Oil Companies. Examining hydrogen's place in our energy future.
