The Purpose and Goal of this Critical Issues Workshop
The reliability and safety of high pressure gaseous fuel storage systems is an integral part of the success and sustainability of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and hydrogen vehicles (H2Vs), whether they will be powered by internal combustion engines or fuel cells.  As the market for these vehicles expands globally, the need to maintain and enforce quality control of cylinders and the associated technology systems (valves, relief devices, etc.) is critical in order to improve safety and reliability. CNG & H2 Cylinders: Challenges, Opportunities & Strategies is designed to bring together high-level experts and industry stakeholders to address the very specific and challenging issues facing CNG and hydrogen fuel storage systems.  The goal of the workshop, based upon the critical issues identified over two-half-day sessions, is to advance specific actions and strategies that are required to assure the long term sustainability of NGVs and H2Vs.
 
Networking Opportunity 
This Critical Issues Workshop provides an excellent opportunity to network and engage with industry experts, customers, public sector specialists and other stakeholders.  Six table top exhibition spaces are provided within the workshop venue to display information and materials about equipment and service suppliers’ specific businesses.  Additionally, sponsorship of the workshop is encouraged so that individual companies can enhance their corporate visibility, since the workshop is being marketed extensively throughout the global NGV and H2V markets.  Sponsor logos remain permanently on the websites where the workshop proceedings are made available to participants and, later, open to any internet visitors.
