In order to create a more sustainable society for the future, Prof. Ad van Wijk will give a lecture on his knowledge and vision on the Green Hydrogen Economy.

Green Hydrogen Economy
Prof. Ad van Wijk – Professor at Future Energy Systems
Electricity from solar and wind is very cheap at places with good solar or wind resources, normally in desert areas (solar) or offshore (wind). To transport this cheap electricity, conversion to hydrogen is necessary to transport it easily per ship or pipeline. Storing hydrogen in large quantities is possible similar to natural gas storage, for example in salt caverns. This green hydrogen can be used in industry as feedstock and steam production, in transport for use in cars, busses, trains, trucks, ships, for electricity balancing and very heating buildings and houses. The Green Hydrogen Economy!

What Will It Mean to Business When Artificial Intelligence finds its way into Cars?
Mr. Paul Rafferty – Partner Jones Day
Join Jones Day in a compelling discussion of the challenges business will face once artificial intelligence takes over the driving of fully autonomous vehicles. How will that artificial intelligence be created? Who will control how it is programmed and “thinks”? What are the ethical and legal issues associated with these programming decisions, and how will business use these decisions productively in the marketplace? When accidents happen, how will businesses involved in product development manage these occurrences, and what might they do beforehand, contractually or otherwise, to manage this risk? Should product development focus on the laws of a country or continent, or is a global approach to product development best?
