This year’s National Hydrogen Association's (NHA) Annual Conference will feature near-to-market products in its Hydrogen Expo US.

The conference is Sunday through Tuesday at the Sacramento Convention Center. Expo attendees will have the chance to see real-life applications of hydrogen technologies and to drive one of 15 hydrogen vehicles. On Monday, admission to Hydrogen Expo and participation in the Ride & Drive are free to the public.

Ninety exhibitors from 11 countries will show the latest in hydrogen and fuel cell developments at the 2008 Hydrogen Expo. Live demonstrations of the technology include a fuel cell powered blender, a cybercafe running on fuel cell power, and hydrogen gas leak detection equipment. Three special interest pavilions in the exhibit hall will feature hydrogen generation from renewables and nuclear energy, and technology "Made in Germany". At the Exhibitor Forum attendees will learn more about available products, regional and international hydrogen initiatives.

New products featured at Hydrogen Expo US include fuel cells manufactured by Altergy and Plug Power, a hydrogen generation module from Proton Energy Systems, hydrogen storage vessels from Cryofab, hydrogen leak detection equipment from H2Scan and RKI Instruments and more.
