ET-TLC: Talent for Learning Communities Energy in Transition
Hydrogen is becoming a key energy carrier in the energy transition. This project develops the knowledge and skills needed for the safe production, storage, and application of hydrogen.
Hydrogen is not just about new technology. It requires new knowledge and skills. This project prepares professionals to work safely and confidently with hydrogen systems.
– Linette Bossen, Project Lead Learning Communities
Introduction
Hydrogen plays a crucial role in the energy transition. It can replace natural gas and enable large-scale storage of renewable energy. This project focuses on developing practical knowledge and skills for professionals working with hydrogen systems.
Project Background
Today, most hydrogen is still produced from fossil fuels. In the future, green hydrogen generated through electrolysis will become increasingly important. Hydrogen systems introduce new technical and safety challenges, while knowledge and practical experience remain limited across education and industry.
Objective
To develop practical knowledge, training, and tools for the safe production, storage, transport, and application of hydrogen.
Target Group
The project is aimed at:
- Technicians and engineers
- Installers and maintenance professionals
- Educators and students
- Companies and organisations in the energy, industrial, and built environment sectors working with hydrogen systems
Method
The project combines practice-based research and system integration in close collaboration with education and industry. Experiments, pilot projects, demonstrations, and co-creation activities are used to develop applications involving hydrogen, heat, and direct current (DC).
Results
The project delivers practical guidelines, training materials, educational modules, and demonstration systems. Professionals gain hands-on experience with electrolysers, storage and transport systems, and hydrogen applications such as fuel cells.
Impact
The project supports the safe and accelerated adoption of hydrogen within the energy transition. It strengthens collaboration between education, applied research, and industry while helping to prepare the future workforce for the hydrogen economy.
