About this Classroom Training
Hydrogen is considered to be a key component in the transition towards low to zero emission in the energy sector. Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier and a widely used resource in the chemical industry. In order to decarbonize existing hydrogen use, clean hydrogen must be used. Hydrogen, as a chemical molecule, is perfectly suitable to store large amounts of energy, even for longer times and to transport energy between countries and even to enable the use of renewable energies across industry sector boundaries. One option to obtain low emission hydrogen is via water electrolysis using low emission or renewable energies as main input resource.
This three-day classroom course provides an in-depth overview of the various electrolyzer types. Working principles and real-world systems will be introduced and discussed. In addition, the interfaces towards upstream inputs, electricity, water and space as well as towards downstream outputs such as hydrogen purification, compression, storage and transport will be discussed. Relevant regulations, codes and standards and requirements for certification of an electrolyzer plant will complete the program next to economic considerations. There will be ample room for addressing individual questions and needs with interactive practical exercises.
