The twenty-first century will be known as the century during which the Hydrogen Energy System replaces the present fossil fuels system. Hydrogen is going to be the permanent answer to the twin global problems: the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, and the environmental problems caused by their utilization, such as the greenhouse effect, climate change, acid rains, ozone layer depletion, pollution and oil spills. Hydrogen is already making inroads into the fossil fuel realm in every direction.
The biannual conference "Hydrogen Materials Science & Chemistry of Carbon Nanomaterials" (ICHMS) evidently got one of the most representative forums for scientists, engineers and students from all over the world working in the field of hydrogen energy and carbon nanostructures. We can expect that intense development of fundamental materials science will lead to key breakthroughs needed for hastening the conversion to the Hydrogen Energy System and nanotechnologies. In fact, nanotechnology has the potential to be doubly "green." It promises to give companies the ability to design new products that are made from more environmentally-friendly materials, and that use less energy and generate less waste throughout the production lifecycle.
One of the objects of this conference is to give the scientists and researchers who work an international tribune to change ideas and results of the newest developments, technologies and experiments directed to practical applications.
High interest and ever-widening geography of conference participants are caused by actuality of themes being discussed and high effectiveness of discussions.
International Conferences on Hydrogen Materials Science (ICHMS) represent one of the leading forums allowing scientists to discuss issues associated with hydrogen energy. The importance of these meetings is hard to overestimate. Besides the benefit to the researchers involved, such conferences attract the attention of the mass media and general public, which in turn has a very important influence on economic decisions at the level of the governments and industry giants.
