Hydrogen Awareness Micro Credential - (Jan 29 - Feb 16)

Hours: 24 hours 

Delivery Mode: Online Asynchronous 

Description: Hydrogen is rapidly emerging as a game-changer in the global pursuit of clean and sustainable energy solutions.  

Climate change, one of the foremost environmental challenges of our time, is caused by increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere due to the use of fossil fuels, which contain carbon. The transition away from fossil fuels, called decarbonization, involves various strategies, including the use of hydrogen as a fuel or energy carrier. This course is an introduction to the ‘hydrogen economy’ that will come into being in the next few decades of the 21st century.    

This course will equip you with the introductory knowledge you need to navigate the evolving landscape of hydrogen technologies and processes. As the demand for hydrogen continues to grow, current and future industry professionals must stay ahead of the curve to remain competitive, ensure safety, and contribute to a greener future.  

In this course, students will learn about the production and uses of hydrogen as well as the economic and safety challenges posed by hydrogen. 

Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: 

• Identify foundational principles, applications, and challenges associated with hydrogen as an industrial feedstock and energy carrier. 
• Identify the ways to integrate hydrogen into existing processes or develop new processes that utilize hydrogen safely and effectively. 
• Describe the safe handling, storage, transportation, and utilization of hydrogen to ensure the well-being of personnel and the integrity of facilities.
