The International Flame Research Foundation will hold its first hydrogen short course on 5th – 7th November 2024. Based in Sheffield, UK, the course will cover both theoretical and practical elements.

The event will take place at the University of Sheffield Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC).

Places on this course are limited to 16, so please book your place now if you are interested.

Course overview

In this course, you will learn about the technologies and processes that enable the production, utilisation and application of low/zero carbon hydrogen. We will explore the advantages and challenges of using low/zero carbon hydrogen and blend for various applications.

We are in the process of securing a CPD (continued professional development) certification for this course.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for professionals from various backgrounds who want to learn about hydrogen production, utilisation and application, health and safety challenges and hydrogen foresight.

You will benefit from this course if you are:

• A process engineer, chemist, or fuel specialist who wants to learn more about hydrogen production, application, and utilisation.
• A regional developer who needs a technical overview of hydrogen.
• An energy and environmental manager who is considering using hydrogen.

• A business development professional who wants to explore new opportunities and markets in the energy sector.

Course benefits

Organisational impact

This short course is designed to help the organisation enhance its capabilities in the hydrogen related energy business. Participants will learn about the key factors that contribute to the production and use of hydrogen. They will also explore how hydrogen can create positive impacts on CO2 emission and fuel supply security. Finally, you will develop the skills and mindset to address the challenges and opportunities in this dynamic and complex industry.

What you will learn

This training course will help you to gain a comprehensive knowledge of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source. You will learn how hydrogen is currently produced mainly from fossil fuels, such as natural gas, and next-generation blue and green hydrogen production pathways. You will also explore the challenges and opportunities associated with low/zero carbon hydrogen production. You will acquire the skills to design solutions that can overcome the technical barriers of hydrogen utilisation and combustion. Finally, you will also recognise how hydrogen can contribute to a secure, resilient, and decarbonised energy system.

Key information

The course will also include one evening dinner event, hosted with a keynote speaker.

The course will be delivered by experts from industry, government, funding bodies, the researchers at the University of Sheffield TERC and hosts from the IFRF.
