HYDROGEN-master

The goal of the project is to provide the skills and capabilities needed for the design, manufacturing, and operation of green hydrogen technology plants and application sites through a new educational concept. The target group for the training consists of employees of companies interested in participating the hydrogen economy and individuals seeking employment in the hydrogen sector.

The project will develop training content for the safe production, storage, and use of hydrogen and its derivatives. It will also provide knowledge on plant design, selection of equipment and systems, commissioning, and maintenance.

EU directives aimed at reducing emissions are forcing the energy production, industrial, and transport sectors to move away from the use of fossil fuels. One significant part of this transition is green hydrogen. Finland is well-suited for green hydrogen production, and dozens of hydrogen production plants are already being planned in the country. These facilities will require skilled workers

The VETY-osaaja training concept developed in the project will be piloted regionally in the hydrogen economy in Pirkanmaa, Lapland, and Ostrobothnia. After the pilot phase, the concept will be ready for further use.

There are currently very few experts in hydrogen production in Finland. Over the next 10 years, a large number of them will be needed. VETY-osaaja is one initiative helping to bridge this skills gap.
