DESCRIPTION:A Winton teatime discussion hosted by Gareth Hinds\, Principle
  Research Scientist at National Physical Laboratory (NPL)\, with research 
 interests in electrochemical energy conversion and corrosion.\n\nAbstract:
  Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell and electrolyser technology 
 has the potential to solve the UK’s energy storage issues by providing a
 n efficient route for storing and using excess renewable energy that would
  otherwise be wasted. Drivers for commercialisation include higher efficie
 ncy\, security of supply\, lower carbon emissions\, silent operation and r
 educed air pollution. However\, widespread commercial uptake has been hind
 ered by the high cost of materials and manufacturing\, limited durability 
 under real world operating conditions and the lack of an established hydro
 gen refuelling infrastructure. Here we discuss recent progress in bringing
  this technology to market\, supported by advances in diagnostic capabilit
 y\, predictive modelling and standardised testing.\n\nAll welcome to atten
 d and light refreshments will be available.
