The Green Hydrogen and Renewable Power-to-X Professional (PtX) Online Programme covers the most important technical and economic aspects of PtX applications such as hydrogen, heat pump technology, and e-mobility. Key PtX terminology, the current economic context, and recent developments of PtX are explained. Participants will learn about energy storage and artificial intelligence in the energy sector as well as about which set of parameters are used to assess the bankability of energy projects and understand a banker’s perspective of risks. A calculation exercise on green hydrogen generation cost is part of the programme.

Mandatory courses in the programme:

  • Power-to-X (PtX): Applications and Cost Developments
  • Energy Storage: Application and Technology
  • Heat Pumps for Heating and Cooling: Technology and Applications
  • Introduction to Hydrogen
  • E-mobility for Private Transport and Charging Infrastructure: An Introduction
  • Co-benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Renewable Energy
  • Renewable energy feasibility assessment and investment valuation
  • Renewable Energy Project Finance

To supplement the learning experience, participants will have access to optional introductory courses on energy and electricity topics. These courses are not mandatory, do not contain assignments, and will not be covered in the exam. Participants new to these topics would benefit from reviewing the content in these courses.

Optional courses in the programme:

  • Introduction to Electricity
  • Introduction to the Solar Resource
  • Planning of Large-scale Grid-connected PV Systems
  • Introduction to Wind Resource
  • Wind Power Planning and Measurement

Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.

After completing these courses, participants should be able to:

  • explain the purposes and potential of the Power-to-X (PtX) concept;
  • compare applications and technologies in energy storage;
  • describe the opportunities hydrogen offers as an energy carrier for a sustainable energy future;
  • explain and evaluate economic and environmental parameters of heat pump technologies and their applications;
  • explain passenger car e-mobility and its implications for the distribution grid;
  • access the role of artificial intelligence technology to improve the renewable energy sector;
  • collect and prepare data required for a bankability assessment; and
  • calculate relevant economic parameters of green hydrogen.

Participants who successfully pass the exam at the end of programme will receive a RENAC certificate. All other participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance if they have completed all the self-tests contained in the mandatory courses.

This programme is suitable for you if you:

  • are planning or seeking a career transition into the renewable Power-to-X (PtX) sector;
  • identify and evaluate market opportunities for green hydrogen for Power-to-X (PtX) applications;
  • set the framework for Power-to-X (PtX) applications; and
  • work with stakeholders in a project appraisal process.

Testimonials

"I recently completed the green hydrogen Green Hydrogen PtX Professional online training programme, and I must say, it was an incredibly rewarding experience. The programme was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics, such as: industrial sector coupling, energy storage application, production, storage, and transportation, utilisation of green hydrogen, renewable energy (RE) project financial modelling, and RE project feasibility assessment. This make it an ideal option for anyone looking to gain knowledge in this field.

The trainers were not only knowledgeable but also very supportive throughout the programme. They were always available to answer questions and provide clarification where necessary, which made learning much easier and enjoyable.

One of the things I appreciated most about this training programme was the practical nature of the training. The programme went beyond just discussing theoretical concepts and provided practical examples and case studies. This gave me a clear understanding of how RE technologies are being used in the real world and their potential for application in future projects."
Andrii Balaniuk, Green Hydrogen and Renewable Power to X Professional, 2023

"It was an inclusive overview that enriched my knowledge about all aspects of green energy."
Alzahrani Saqr, Green Hydrogen and Renewable Power to X Professional, 2022

"I have been doing the Green Hydrogen and PtX programme with RENAC. RENAC has done well in conveying the subject concepts. The online platform is amazing as it makes sure we systematically progress through the programme."
