Green Hydrogen and Power-to-X for University Students Capacity-Building for Jordan's Future Workforce
As a low-carbon alternative, Green Hydrogen has the potential to replace various high-carbon fuels that are now in use, reducing emissions in key industries. Jordan has a significant chance to build a Green Hydrogen economy by developing an (export-oriented) Green Hydrogen infrastructure since it has high Renewable Energy (RE) potential. Like this, Green Hydrogen can be used to help decarbonize the national economy. Furthermore, Green Hydrogen production in Jordan is considered to have significant commercial potential. Due to the low initial costs of RE, foreign companies might be attracted to invest in Green Hydrogen at competitive pricing. Nevertheless, one of the main challenges that authorities, investors, and stakeholders encounter is the deficiency of a skillful local workforce. To this end, this project aims to develop comprehensive material for university students to teach them about Green Hydrogen and Power-to-X technologies and implement training courses. The material will, for example, cover a thorough understanding of the whole value chain of Green Hydrogen from the production stage to the end use. Moreover, it will include related topics such as Hydrogen properties, Hydrogen derivatives, and the appropriate engineering design and sizing procedure for the design and operation of Hydrogen equipment. The Green Hydrogen for Jordan context will be included in terms of possibilities and challenges as well as the possibility of local use and possible potential export to Europe
