Students from the Master's Program in Hydrogen Technologies visit Petronor facilities
Petronor is immersed in the design and construction of a 100 MW green hydrogen plant, and the students were able to learn about the project firsthand
The students of the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Continuing Education in Hydrogen Technologies are active professionals who combine their work with training. At the beginning of July, they had the opportunity to learn firsthand about Petronor's strategic advances in the field of decarbonization. The visit is part of the program of in-person activities that complement the online training of the master's degree, and which includes meetings at leading companies in the sector.
During the day, the group visited the company's 2.5 MW electrolyzer, as well as the future site of the 100 MW electrolysis plant for the production of green hydrogen, Petronor's most ambitious strategic project to date.
Pioneering and collaborative training
The Interuniversity Master's Degree in Continuing Education in Hydrogen Technologies is an online interuniversity program promoted by five universities and four vocational training centers in the Basque Country, Aragon, and Catalonia. Each member of the master's program specializes in certain areas of hydrogen and actively participates in major projects such as the Basque Hydrogen Corridor or the Ebro Hydrogen Corridor. The master's program's alliance also has the support of partner companies such as Petronor, allowing for a direct connection between academic training and the real challenges of the energy sector.
The master's program comprehensively addresses the various key areas of the hydrogen ecosystem:
- The hydrogen market: regulatory framework, guarantees of origin, etc.
- Hydrogen generation through reforming processes, electrolysis, separation techniques, etc.
- Storage, transportation (land and sea), and distribution
- Combustion: low- or high-temperature fuel cells, etc.
- Hydrogen applications: mobility, industry, small devices, etc.
Each student completes their training with a final project focused on solving a specific challenge posed by an organization in the sector, thus reinforcing the direct applicability of the knowledge acquired.
