AHK Online Training

Hydrogen opens up ways for the economy to achieve its climate protection goals and free itself from the disadvantages of fossil fuels. The expansion of hydrogen technologies and their use in practice is therefore about gaining decisive competitive advantages and securing future viability.

For all specialists and managers who want to explore the potential of hydrogen as an energy source for their company and take the first steps towards realisation, particularly in the areas of mobility/logistics, production and energy (supply) and carbon footprint.

Graduates can

• Analyse the potential and possible applications of hydrogen technologies for their companies.
• Competently assess the dangers and risks involved in handling hydrogen and deal with them in accordance with regulations.
• Technically control the realisation of hydrogen projects.

Companies can

• Expand their room for manoeuvre in the course of the energy transition.
• Generate new competitive advantages.
• Increase their future viability.
