Hydrogen Energy Systems PgCert

This course supports individuals who wish to undertake sustainability-focused roles in a wide range of engineering and manufacturing sectors in relation to hydrogen energy and achieving our 2050 Net Zero Emission targets. Specifically, it will provide detailed understanding and training in hydrogen generation and use for clean energy applications as well as hydrogen system design and integration with existing infrastructure. In association with the Postgraduate Certificate in Zero Carbon Engineering, this certificate course will help provide training and support for regional, national and international transition towards a net-zero economy.

On completion of the course the student will be able to: • Demonstrate awareness of the various hydrogen energy options and evaluate how these can be deployed in different scenarios. • Exercise investigation and critical analysis of the published literature to produce technical and economical evaluations of hydrogen technologies. • Build skills in the modelling of systems and understand the complexity of achieving energy production which contributes towards net-zero. • Effectively communicate hydrogen energy options to a wide range of stakeholders ranging from the general public though to industry and policy developers. WHO ARE YOU? You are someone who is interested in the energy transition towards achieving our Net Zero Emissions targets.

That could be in relation to understanding more about the fundamental process and how we can achieve it or developing the skills to directly contribute within your current sector or industry. You could be someone already working within the renewable energy sector or someone thinking about reskilling and beginning a career in a more sustainability-focused role.

Why study

THIS COURSE? You will gain a strong foundation in the engineering and associated skills that are needed to underpin growth in the renewable energy sector. This includes exploring current low-carbon energy manufacturing routes, advancements in emerging technologies, and assessing and modelling sustainability.

You will therefore be well placed to support existing and new industries in their energy system transition. Students completing this course will possess skills in each of these areas which are increasingly sought by local and international employers for positions such as a low-carbon technology engineers, carbon consultants and low-carbon solutions managers. You will therefore be well placed to support existing and new industries in their energy system transition which will play a key role in the growing local and global economy.
