Presentation

In the program, hydrogen will be presented as a flexible energy carrier, and its potential as renewable fuel in a series of domains and applications will be questioned and assessed. A mix of courses, technical site visits and seminars by invited speakers tackling case studies from the field, will allow passing on hydrogen knowledge whilst cultivating a pragmatic perspective on the hydrogen value chain. Safety aspects will be aslo adressed.

As part of the European Hydrogen Strategy, Europe is investing considerable sums in hydrogen-related projects, leading to an increased need for trained hydrogen workers and therefore an increased need for training programmes.

This lifelong learning program leading to an ULB certificate, aims to contribute filling in this gap. ULB has renowned hydrogen experts among its staff, actively conducts hydrogen research, has hydrogen related equipment, and has also a vast network of hydrogen related partners and consortiums. 

Calendar & registration

Prerequisites

Admission is by application. Candidates must present a certificate of achievement of a first cycle higher diploma in Science and/or Technology, and preferably also a certificate of a second cycle higher diploma in Science and/or Technology. Candidates holding other diplomas may apply for a Valorisation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE) and will have their application examined on a case-by-case basis by the Scientific Committee.

access conditions

Access to this course requires a higher-education degree in science and/or technology, or equivalent by experience.
All admissions are based on a file.

Target audience

This programme aims to train candidates with a higher education degree in science and/or technology, who are or wish to be active in the rapidly expanding hydrogen field. Candidates can be recent graduates, professionals who want to make the transition to hydrogen systems or unemployed people who want to change their career path.

Some of the candidates should already be working in energy-related sectors, where the energy transition is a current and recurring issue, requiring constant monitoring of technological developments.

Programme

Presentation 

Europe has set its sails for a journey towards a low-carbon, zero-emission energy future. To become climate-neutral by 2050, the European energy system is facing an important energy system transition. Renewable and low-carbon gases, such as hydrogen (H) have been attributed a central role in this transition [6].

Hydrogen - with atomic number 1 - is the lightest, simplest and most abundant element in the universe known. At the same time hydrogen has a highly multifaceted and versatile nature. It makes up the largest part of the sun and gaseous planets, and occurs naturally on earth in compound forms, such as the hydrocarbons found in natural gas, coal and petroleum. Hydrogen can be used as energy carrier to store energy, which upon release has a remarkably clean byproduct, since hydrogen in reaction with oxygen merely gives water. Producing hydrogen, storing hydrogen, transporting hydrogen, and applying hydrogen energy systems are all research & innovation areas in expansion.
