Description
Hydrogen is playing an increasingly important role in the energy transition, as it can replace fossil fuels and serve as a long-term storage solution for renewable electricity to balance our electricity system. In the development of the hydrogen economy, it is essential to ensure that there is an adequate skilled workforce for the new technology and applications. This project will work with education and businesses to ensure the availability of a skilled workforce to meet the hydrogen challenges
Our role
We are the coordinator and pen leader of the project. We are also active in various work packages where we, as work package leader, set up and carry out public activities and network events around hydrogen. In addition, we are developing a platform to bring together supply and demand in the labour market and identify education and training opportunities in the field of hydrogen.
