Why this Credential?

The energy transition is in progress, and the world is grappling with the energy trilemma: How can we supply energy that is affordable, secure and reliable, and environmentally responsible, for everyone? There is no single solution to this formidable challenge. But hydrogen is a key component of the most credible sustainable energy scenarios, with significant growth projected for the global energy system over the next 30 - 50 years.

Hydrogen is currently used heavily in the process industries, and it is seen as a significant future replacement option for the fossil fuels that are now used in power generation, transportation, and industry. However, most hydrogen today is produced from fossil energy sources. It will need to be decarbonized if it is to take its place as a dominant player in sustainable energy.

Our interactive, online educational program shares insights into the technology, economics, policy, and business drivers and barriers for hydrogen, both in the short term and in the long term. It examines hydrogen鈥檚 production, transportation, safety, use, and commercial opportunities, and considers both onshore and offshore applications. It also includes real time review meetings with instructors, and a capstone project to consolidate the learnings, to better equip students with skills, knowledge and expertise to thrive in the hydrogen economy.

Who Should Enroll?

The Hydrogen Economy Program caters to two distinct groups:

• Industry Professionals: Those already in the energy industries are seeing significant changes almost daily. The Hydrogen Economy Program provides new information, new insights, and new skills for professionals to help them manage new demands and be a valuable part of the energy transition.
• For Future Energy Professionals: This program is ideal for students preparing themselves for a successful energy career and professional life. The Hydrogen Economy Program provides a unique perspective and skillset, giving students a competitive edge, understanding, and competence as they enter the energy marketplace.
