Presentation topic should be related to fuel cells and hydrogen economy.

Design your own Fuel Cell system  for example;

Team - A :  Hydrogen at Home

We will propose a hydrogen energy system analysis. This includes an electrolyzer powered by photovoltaic cells, a hydrogen storage medium, and a fuel cell.

Team - B :  Investigation of perovskite thin film fuel cell applications

Team - C :  Hydrogen Fuel Cells In Boats

Team - D :  Building a Commercial Alkaline Fuel Cell Based on Novel Hydroxide Exchange Membranes (HEM)

Team - E :  Advancements in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrode Materials: Enhancing Performance and Durability

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are at the forefront of clean energy technology, offering high efficiency, low emissions, and fuel flexibility. The performance and longevity of SOFCs are highly dependent on the electrode materials. This presentation will cover the latest advancements in electrode materials that aim to enhance both the performance and durability of SOFCs.

Team - F :  Hydrogen Refueling Stations

Team - G :  The assessment of current and future fuel cell types for consumer based automotive vehicles (i.e. cars)

Team - H :  Emergency Fuel Cells for Planes

We would like to delve into how having a plane run on a fuel cell can help in emergency situations, such as providing power in the event of a crash or lowering the risk of explosion. As well as discuss the environmental effects of planes and their high emissions.

Team - I :  Investigating Polymer electrolyte membrane Fuel cells design

Team - J :  Portable Power Generation Fuel Cell System for Disaster Relief

Team - K :  Designing a Hydrogen Bus Model for MTD

We would like to propose a new design for MTD's hydrogen buses using data from the current hydrogen bus model and explore the logistics, electro-chemical reaction, implementation, and structure that will theoretically improve the current design of the bus.

Team - L :  Hydrogen Highways: Mapping Out the Expansion of Pipeline Infrastructure

We would aim to discuss the current state of the hydrogen pipeline network, focusing on how effective industrial hubs, refueling stations, and transportation centers are. We also can discuss what needs to be done to expand this infrastructure, possibly by integrating sections of already existing natural gas pipelines.
