What is the Offshore Green Hydrogen and Energy Storage Course?
The Offshore Green Hydrogen and Energy Storage Course introduces you to producing green hydrogen at sea, using the power of offshore wind farms. You will study offshore electrolysis, production platforms, transport by pipeline and by ship, energy storage, and the safety and economic challenges of these projects.
What sets it apart is that it covers the whole chain from production to end use, with a dedicated safety module and a final case study. It is a private online professional programme with a Navalis Institute certificate, designed for energy, chemical and naval engineers interested in hydrogen.
Programme highlights
- Cutting-edge topic: pilot projects that will shape the next decade.
- Offshore wind integration: production alongside wind farms.
- Complete chain: production, transport, storage and use.
- Safety: hydrogen risks in the marine environment.
- Economic perspective: costs and business models.
- The role of the sea: discover its place in the hydrogen economy.
