Overview
The Green Hydrogenand Renewable Power-to-X Professional (PtX) Online Programme covers the most important technical and economic aspects of PtX applications such as hydrogen, heat pump technology, and e-mobility. Key PtX terminology, the current economic context, and recent developments of PtX are explained. Participants will learn about energy storage and artificial intelligence in the energy sector as well as about which set of parameters are used to assess the bankability of energy projects and understand a banker’s perspective of risks. A calculation exercise on green hydrogen generation cost is part of the programme.
After completing these courses, participants should be able to:
- explain the purposes and potential of the Power-to-X (PtX) concept;
- compare applications and technologies in energy storage;
- describe the opportunities hydrogen offers as an energy carrier for a sustainable energy future;
- explain and evaluate economic and environmental parameters of heat pump technologies and their applications;
- explain passenger car e-mobility and its implications for the distribution grid;
- access the role of artificial intelligence technology to improve the renewable energy sector;
- collect and prepare data required for a bankability assessment; and
- calculate relevant economic parameters of green hydrogen.
Participants who successfully pass the exam at the end of programme will receive a RENAC certificate. All other participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance if they have completed all the self-tests contained in the mandatory courses.
