Synopsis of the FUEL CELL TRAINING COURSE
Electricity is one of the most crucial things to support our modern life. The issues surrounding fossil fuel as today's primary electricity source are that they will run out soon, and its combustion process is harmful to the environment. Fortunately, fuel cell technology and hydrogen energy may provide a solution. Fuel cells with hydrogen gas as fuel able to generate electricity with pure water as the only by-product. It is a clean way to generate electricity. Besides that, hydrogen can be extracted from water molecule that is abundant on earth by electrolysis process. These technologies are marketed worldwide and now are here in Malaysia. Recently, Sarawak's Green Energy officially launched South East Asia's first integrated hydrogen production plant, refuelling station, and fuel cell buses. In future, we may be able to use fuel cells to generate electrical power for charging our everyday electrics and electronics.
Fuel Cell Institute – UKM as the only research institute in Malaysia focuses on fuel cells development and hydrogen energy, is actively investigated in various fuel cell systems and hydrogen energy. Currently, there are few types of fuel cells require further exploration such as Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, and Microbial Fuel Cell. Each of the fuel cell types has its advantages and target applications. Moreover, discussion on hydrogen production and storage technologies will also take place.
For this workshop, we invite all stakeholders in this field, especially academicians, researchers and students, and interested industries to participate. Highly recognized experts within the field will deliver the workshop materials. Through this sharing session, we hope to attract the interest of more people towards these technologies. Together we shall develop our fuel cells and electrolyzer systems for a cleaner and better future.
