UD and Chemours host National Academy of Engineering Regional Meeting, with presentations focused on using hydrogen for clean, efficient fuel cells.

On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, the University of Delaware and The Chemours Company hosted a 2024 Regional Meeting of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).

During the public symposium, nearly 150 attendees gathered at the FinTech Innovation Hub on UD's Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus to hear presentations on how to tackle challenges and embrace opportunities relating to the production, storage, transportation and conversion of hydrogen for powering clean and efficient fuel cells.

During his introductory remarks, Levi Thompson, Dean of UD's College of Engineering and an NAE member, said that the strong interest and attendance at this symposium was a testament to the significance of the topic itself. "It can be argued that hydrogen is the long-term choice for decarbonization, with potential uses in everything from transportation to energy storage," said Thompson.
