  including hydrogen energy practices and hydrogen stratagem research as well as fuel cell research including PEMFC, SOFC, and SOEC. From 2000 to 2005, Dr. Mao was appointed as the Chief Scientist for the first China National key Hydrogen Fundamental Project (973 program), trained many of today’s top hydrogen-related scientists and teams in China. Dr. MAO’s team has been one of the leading figures in the development of Hydrogen Energy in China; his team built the first pure hydrogen filling station in Beijing China in 2006. This station supplied pure hydrogen to both hydrogen vehicles and industrial users which is the only commercially viable station in China. His team also built the first hydrogen/natural gas (HCNG) filling station in Shanxi Province, China in 2010. That HCNG station could supply 200,000 cubic meters per day and operate in the end of 2011. It is the largest HCNG filling station in the world to be awarded by IAHE at the WHEC2014. Dr. Mao is also a main communication bridge between China and the IAHE. Through his effort and support, Dr. Gang Wan, the Minister of China Science and Technology (PRC), was granted the IAHE award in 2008. Dr. Mao has also made many other contributions to the IAHE. These include the organization of many international forums such as WHEC2000, HYFORUM2004, HYFORUM2008 and WHTC2013 in China, leading him to be winner of the IAHE award in 2006. Dr. Mao has published more than 150 scientific papers in high-impacting journals and 4 books and owns several patents.
