2010 Contest: Designing a Hydrogen Community

Congratulations to Missouri University of Science and Technology, 2010 Grand Prize Winner!

The Grand Prize winning team from the Missouri University of Science and Technology
at the 2010 NHA Hydrogen Conference & Expo in Long Beach, CA.

The 2010 Hydrogen Student Design Contest challenged teams of university students from around the world to plan and design the basic elements of a hydrogen community in Santa Monica, CA. They were asked to design one scalable hydrogen fueling station; identify renewable hydrogen sources in the community; and identify customers for early market hydrogen applications. As a part of the prize package, the Grand Prize-winning team had all-expenses paid trips to present their design at the 2010 National Hydrogen Association Hydrogen Conference and Expo in Long Beach, CA and the 2010 World Hydrogen Energy Conference in Essen, Germany.

2009 Contest: Green Buildings with Hydrogen

Congratulations to University of Waterloo, the Grand Prize Winner!

The winning teams from the University of Waterloo and Wayne State University at the
2009 NHA Hydrogen Conference & Expo in Columbia, SC.

The student teams designed a green student center powered by hydrogen for the State University of New York - Farmingdale. Entrants were challenged to design an energy efficient building that utilized hydrogen produced from renewable sources for as much of the building's energy needs as feasible. All hydrogen technologies and systems included in designs were required to be commercially available and ready for implementation for real-world use by June 2009.

2008 Contest: Hydrogen Applications for Airports

Congratulations to Missouri University of Science and Technology, the Grand Prize Winner!

The student teams designed systems to address air and water quality, noise pollution, energy efficiency, and safety and security issues at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in Columbia, South Carolina. Although the design was meant to address the challenges at the Columbia Airport, each had key elements that are applicable to other airports around the world.

2005 Contest: Hydrogen Power Park

Congratulations to Humboldt State University, the Grand Prize Winner!

Student teams designed a hydrogen power park for the production of hydrogen and hydrogen-fueled electrical power to serve light duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and various electrical loads. Entrants were judged on their ability to provide hydrogen and electrical power safely, cleanly and affordably. Specific judging criteria included technical accuracy, completeness, clarity of writing and presentation, operational safety, economic viability, environmental performance and realism of the design.
