As a part of the project the team at German Jordanian University has conducted a training course focused on green hydrogen technology and PtX. These courses are designed for academic staff at Jordanian universities and involve the participation of researchers from the university's smart grid lab, as well as Dr. Adib Allahham from Northumbria University in UK.

During the inaugural session, the President of the German Jordanian University and the Director of the project, Prof. Ala’aldeen Al-Halhouli emphasized the significance of spreading knowledge and equipping personnel in the field of hydrogen energy. They stressed the importance of sharing this knowledge with colleagues from Jordanian and Arab universities, given the global demand for diverse and eco-friendly energy sources. The objective is to familiarize participants with this cutting-edge technology and provide essential courses covering various aspects of it.

Professor Al-Halhouli highlighted one of the project's primary goals, which is to develop comprehensive courses on green hydrogen production, transportation, storage, and its diverse applications. He also emphasized how such projects directly contribute to the achievement of the United Nations' sustainable development goals, particularly those related to promoting inclusive economic growth, productive employment, and equal work opportunities for all. Furthermore, he noted that green hydrogen and its derivatives will play a crucial role in attaining the thirteenth sustainable development goal, which calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Green hydrogen's reliance on renewable energy sources as an alternative to fossil fuels will significantly contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, it will support the realization of the seventh sustainable development goal, aiming to ensure universal access to reliable, sustainable, and affordable modern energy. The project's head, Dr. Hani Mohsen, emphasized the significance of this technology in contributing to the achievement of sustainable goals, ultimately leading to zero net carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

At the conclusion of the session, it was agreed to establish research groups focused on topics related to green hydrogen, and certificates of participation were distributed to the attendees.
