Considering Portugal’s strategy for green hydrogen, the Texas Engineering Executive Education of the Cockrell School of Engineering (TxEEE) designed “Hydrogen’s Role in a Decarbonized Future: Recent Trends, Opportunities, and Considerations”. This research-based course, tailored to a Portuguese audience, focuses on hydrogen uses, sources, policy, economy, and GHG emissions. Taught by UT Austin energy experts, participants will learn from engaging online lectures, discussions, Q&A and extra office hours.
This is the third course on Hydrogen, promoted by TxEEE in partnership with the UT Austin Portugal Program. This year, there are 60 vacancies available for researchers/entrepreneurs/industry professionals from our UT Austin Portugal’s community in Portugal to attend this online advanced training on Hydrogen.
“Hydrogen’s Role in a Decarbonized Future: Recent Trends, Opportunities, and Considerations” will happen on October 21, October 23 and October 25. In this 6-hour course, complemented by optional office hours, UT Austin’s top-notch experts will provide an overview of hydrogen trends and opportunities.
Tuition fees will not be charged as they will be covered by the UT Austin Portugal Program’s budget at UT Austin. To this end, you should fill out a specific form:
Participants without 1) primary affiliation to Portuguese institutions and 2) a statement of support from their home institutions will not be accepted into the course. Attendance is limited.
This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to expand your knowledge about this versatile energy solution and learn how it may contribute to energy transition towards a net-zero economy.
