Course in Hydrogen for Mobility

The Course in Hydrogen for Mobility is an advanced training programme that examines the technological trajectories of hydrogen applied to transport. The topic is addressed for four sectors of mobility: automotive, rail, maritime and aeronautical. The course aims to provide an up-to-date picture of how hydrogen can contribute to sustainable mobility, considering both technical and practical and innovative aspects, and highlighting the challenges and opportunities of a growing sector. Hydrogen is considered a possible solution for decarbonising means of transport, especially where electrification with batteries is more difficult, as in heavy, rail, maritime and aeronautical transport. The course presents the state of the technology and its prospects, with attention to the different sectors and to the differences in use from one sector to another.

Teaching includes case studies of companies such as Alstom, Iveco, Leonardo and Azimut, which show how hydrogen is being considered in the different transport sectors, as well as practical activities in research laboratories. These activities concern the production, transport and use of hydrogen, fuel cell systems and safety. The course is held in Italian, part time and in person, over six days, at the Department of Energy of the Polytechnic University of Turin, with access to the laboratories at the Environment Park in Turin. The activities in the research laboratories make it possible to see at first hand the technologies discussed, from the production to the use of hydrogen, up to fuel cell systems and safety measures. The company case studies offer a direct comparison with industrial experience. With only six days, the programme is very concentrated and aims at the essentials.

The aim is to provide skills in the applications of hydrogen in sustainable mobility. The course is aimed at professionals and graduates interested in the applications of hydrogen in mobility and may suit those who work in transport, energy or industrial companies and want a targeted update. It is neither a master nor a master's degree and the page does not give credits. The cost is €700. The page does not give the start date, the places available, the selection or any scholarships, information to be requested directly from the university. The programme is advanced training and does not lead to a master's qualification: it serves mainly to update the skills of those already working in the sector or who want to find their bearings. The page does not give the credits or the type of certificate awarded. The calendar, the dates of the six days and the number of places must be requested directly from the Department of Energy.
