Everyone here at fuelcellmaterials is extremely excited for October 8th, because it happens to be National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day. October 8th officially became a holiday three years ago, as part of a campaign to raise awareness for clean energy technologies – specifically technologies using hydrogen and fuel cells. The creators of the holiday chose 10/08 because 1.008 is the atomic weight of hydrogen.
Some companies engaged in the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are celebrating by giving tours of their facilities (like our friends at SARTA), scheduling press releases to coincide with the holiday, offering free downloads of hydrogen standards, and posting on social media outlets with the hashtags #HydrogenNow and #FuelCellsNow. This year, we are celebrating the day with a fuel cell inspired cake!
We have our (proverbial) party hats on because we think National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day is an awesome holiday. As innovators in the field of fuel cells and clean energy, we believe it is so important to promote awareness of the existing and upcoming technologies that will allow everyone to have a clean and sustainable future.
