Historical hydrogen course for doctoral students
The first doctoral course within Luleå University of Technology's hydrogen gas project CH2ESS is now taking place on the campus in Luleå. The course is aimed at advanced level students and engineers from the industry who wish to have an overview of the subject area.
"It's very exciting that we are finally entering this week that we have planned for so long. It's important to have time to gather this team to collectively develop an understanding of the entire system while each individual expands and deepens their knowledge in various important research projects within different parts of the hydrogen value chain," says Joakim Lundgren, Deputy Managing Director of CH2ESS.
"It's great to share insights from the past within the field as well as what is currently happening in the world of hydrogen. The researchers' network expands thanks to having students from four different universities with similar interests, as well as a mix of lecturers including professors from our hydrogen projects at Luleå University of Technology but also from institutions such as Umeå University, and from companies and organizations like Nordion, Hydrogenious, and Swerim," adds Cecilia Wallmark, Managing Director of CH2ESS.
Need for relevant expertise
The large-scale investments in the hydrogen sector, especially in northern Sweden, require a large number of engineers and other qualified personnel with relevant expertise. In collaboration with companies within CH2ESS, research and education are being further developed to match the needs for hydrogen competence. The main purpose of the doctoral course Sustainable Hydrogen Value Chains is to create knowledge about the potential role of fossil-free hydrogen value chains in a sustainable industry and society. This is done by providing up-to-date knowledge within the four main phases: production, storage, distribution, and utilization in industry and transportation. It also includes studies that provide insights into safety issues, material aspects, opportunities for industrial symbiosis, as well as knowledge about ongoing commercial hydrogen initiatives and development projects. The one-week course includes lectures on the potential role of hydrogen in a fossil-free and sustainable society, hydrogen production and conversion technologies including technical-economic performance, as well as study visits and workshops.
