Hydrogen for specialists and managers

The course has been set for H2 - when will the brakes be released?

Green hydrogen and its derivatives are seen as key building blocks for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive sectors, aviation and shipping, and for the transformation of cross-sectoral energy systems. In addition to its impact on climate policy, hydrogen also offers numerous opportunities in terms of industrial policy, particularly with regard to the equipment supply sector. The groundwork for the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy has therefore been laid, particularly in recent years.

Long-term benefits of hydrogen clearly recognised

At present, however, the impression is emerging that the planned developments have stalled. A specific term has even been coined for this: the ‘hydrogen implementation gap’. The reasons for this are complex. Whilst the long-term benefits of green hydrogen are clearly recognised, the concrete regulatory implementation at both European and national levels is giving rise to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties affect both hydrogen producers and, in particular, hydrogen consumers and their willingness to pay, thereby stalling the ramp-up.

H2 Roll-out Strategy Forum: Analysis and Strategy Development

In the H2 Roll-out Strategy Forum, our experts – Prof. Richard Hanke-Rauschenbach, who has been involved in national and international H2 research for 25 years, and the experienced H2 market strategist Dr Geert Tjarks, will analyse the situation together with participants in the format of an interactive strategy forum and discuss possible solutions and strategies.

Join us and gain a more complete picture of the situation. Discuss your questions and use cases with our experts and the other participants. Make the most of the ‘Hydrogen Roll-out’ Strategy Forum to define your strategic direction, establish and expand partnerships, and play an active role in shaping the next phase!

Strategic minds wanted

The H2 ramp-up strategy forum is aimed at anyone who wants to assess and strategically utilise the potential of the hydrogen market - especially managers and specialists from these areas:

  • Energy supply, grid operation, project development and municipal utilities
  • Industry with a need for transformation, high energy consumption or CO₂ emissions
  • Politics and administration
  • Management consulting and financing
  • Sustainability and ESG responsibility
  • Start-ups and innovation

Hydrogen: Strategy - Technology - Management

Would you like to delve deeper into the world of H2? We provide you with interdisciplinary knowledge at university Master's level in the three core areas: strategy - technology - management. After successfully completing the three modules, you will be able to make an overall technological and economic assessment of hydrogen energy systems. The further education programme concludes with the university certificate "Green Hydrogen Expert". Further details can be found in our information brochure. We will also be happy to advise you personally.

Strategy

Module 1 is equivalent to the H2 ramp-up strategy forum. It deals with the functionalities of hydrogen in the defossilisation of the energy system, the role of politics in the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy and which economic sectors will be specifically involved in value creation with hydrogen in the future, as well as their respective expectations and plans.

Technology

In module 2, you will gain an in-depth insight into H2 technologies, plant planning and technical operation as well as the basics of safety and liability. You will be able to understand and compare different technologies in the context of a hydrogen economy and evaluate them taking into account the respective framework conditions.

Management

Module 3 provides an introduction to the legal authorisation and energy law framework for planning a hydrogen energy system. In addition, the position of hydrogen in the energy market is examined in order to enable an overall assessment of complete systems and business models.

Our strengths
