Steering Committee Progress Report on Hydrogen Sensor Performance Testing and Evaluation under the Memorandum of Agreement between NREL, U.S. DOE and JRC-IET, EC (original) (raw)

(NREL) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formalize collaborations in specific Thematic Areas both parties agreed to. The terms of the technical program (aims, means, and deliverables) were detailed in Technical Annexes appended to the MOA. Technical Annex 1 was titled "Hydrogen Sensor Performance, Testing and Evaluation." As part of the MOA, each party established a Steering Committee to guide cooperative activities implemented under the MOA. The Steering Committee meets once a year to review the cooperative activities implemented, to evaluate their effectiveness, and to develop plans. The first Steering Committee meeting was held by videoconference on 22 September 2011; the second meeting is scheduled for 3 December 2012. The MOA was to be in effect for two years and subject to renewal. This report summarizes the joint activities undertaken within the framework of the MOA on hydrogen sensor performance testing. For the purposes of evaluation, these activities, results, and impacts are reported against the Objectives specified in the Technical Annex of the MOA. Suggestions for future joint activities are also proposed.
