Introduction to the Program

This 100% online Postgraduate certificate gives you the keys to develop successful projects that produce hydrogen"

Although hydrogen can be extracted from fossil fuels, biomass, can be generated from water or by mixing the above components, companies currently produce it from natural gas. However, the pressing need to reduce carbonization and CO2 emissions to the atmosphere has led to increased investment in projects that rely on electrolysis processes as an alternative for green hydrogen generation. And although this development is still residual compared to other energy options, it will gain momentum in the medium and long term.

An emerging market today, where scientists continue to discover multiple properties of hydrogen, expanding the options for extending fuel cell lifetime or refining their development. Given this reality, this academic institution has decided to create this Postgraduate certificate in Hydrogen Production and Electrolysis, which contains the most outstanding and advanced information in this field.

Therefore, through a syllabus with a theoretical-practical approach, students will acquire the knowledge that will lead them to advance professionally in a booming sector. This will be possible, in addition, thanks to the multiple pedagogical tools provided by TECH which have been developed using the latest technology applied to teaching.

In this way, the graduate will learn about hydrogen production methods in development phase, electrochemistry, cell assembly to form the stack and its peripherals. In addition, this program will provide you with the necessary resources for the study and modeling of the operation of the whole, which make up the electrolysis.

The professional is then, before a Postgraduate certificate 100% online, which can be done comfortably at any time of the day, and which can be accessed from any electronic device (computer, tablet or mobile) with internet connection. A degree that is in line with the present times and provides the flexibility that people need to be able to combine their personal responsibilities with high-level education.
