ATLANTA, GA
-- Together with representatives from each of the states that make up the
southern U.S., the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE),
Southern Fuel Cell Coalition (SFCC), and Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) today announced a regional conference
to be held in Atlanta on December 4th through 6th at the Emory Conference
Center Hotel. The conference, entitled “GenerationFC 2006,” will focus
on:
-
Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies
and infrastructure
-
The resources and opportunities for
establishing a hydrogen and fuel cell industrial base in the southern region
-
The many ways that this regional momentum
can be further developed
To open the conference, CTE will present
Congressman John Lewis (District 5-Atlanta) with an award recognizing the
Congressman’s many and various contributions to transportation policies
and projects. The conference will also feature a keynote address by the
President and CEO of General Hydrogen Corporation, Mr. Frank Trotter, who
will be speaking about his organization’s experience in commercializing
fuel cell technology, with a particular emphasis on the outlook for the
southern region of the U.S.
From its very beginnings as “Terminus,”
Atlanta, Georgia has been and continues to be the central transportation
hub of the South. The advanced technology and energy leaders who gather
for GenerationFC 2006 will chart new paths toward energy efficiency and
sustainability for the region. As a result of their work in developing
and commercializing new fuel cell technologies and hydrogen infrastructure,
they will position the southern region to its best advantage in a new marketplace
that is expected to reach $15 billion in value within the next ten years.
