Postgraduate certificate Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Major automotive companies are currently working on the design of buses, trucks and, to a lesser extent, passenger cars that include hydrogen fuel cells. However, other sectors such as the energy sector are also betting on the generation of power plants based on this equipment. In both cases, the reduction of CO2 emissions is a determining factor in their choice and development. In this scenario, the specialized engineering professional will be able to progress in a booming sector. This is why TECH has designed this program, which offers the most exhaustive and advanced knowledge on the production of these electricity generators, the stack, the peripheral elements and the technical-economic analysis necessary for their implementation. All this in a 100% online academic format, with quality multimedia content, to which you will have access 24 hours a day, from an electronic device with an Internet connection.

Introduction to the Program

With this Postgraduate certificate you will be able to integrate in 150 hours the most important concepts of the operation and integration of Hydrogen Fuel Cells”

Zero carbon emissions to the atmosphere and double the efficiency of traditional combustion are the main advantages of Hydrogen Fuel Cells. This has led the mobility sector, in particular, to promote the creation of means of transport that use this equipment to generate electricity from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.

Thus, major companies such as BWM, Hyundai, Toyota and Iveco are currently working on the development of models that perfect and integrate the fuel cell. In this race initiated by the transportation sector, other industries such as the energy sector are joining in, so that this energy vector is currently undergoing a process of promotion. Given this reality, there is no doubt that the engineering professional, who has specialized knowledge, has a wide range of possibilities to advance in a booming sector. That is why TECH has created this Postgraduate certificate in Hydrogen Fuel Cells, which will allow the graduate to take a firm step forward in their professional career.

A program with a theoretical, but at the same time practical vision that will take you into the operation and composition of fuel cells, into the stack as the central element where the chemical reaction of electricity generation or the balance of plant occurs. For this purpose, you will also have access to multimedia didactic material, which will allow you to acquire a solid learning experience through a much more attractive and dynamic content.

Thus, these educational tools will lead you to a deeper understanding of fuel cells from a technical and economic point of view, so necessary for their integration in sectors that are currently seeking to continue producing in a sustainable way.

The professional has an excellent opportunity to prosper in this field, through a Postgraduate certificate, which can be taken whenever and wherever they wishes.
