Hydrogen in Motion: Powering the Future

Third Hydrogen Industry and Applications Training Program / Advanced Program for International Hydrogen Industry Leaders

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Hydrogen development is accelerating worldwide. Major economies are strengthening strategic planning and publishing hydrogen roadmaps. Hydrogen is increasingly recognized for its role in deep decarbonization in transport, energy storage, industry and power generation. As the world’s largest hydrogen consumer, China has substantial development potential in renewable hydrogen production, infrastructure and applications such as fuel cell vehicles. Policy support, the industrial base, technological innovation and application scenarios offer both opportunities and challenges.

The sector is moving from basic research to volume manufacturing and broader industrialization. Its transition toward large-scale application and commercialization requires strategic choices at every level. Leaders with an international perspective, theoretical knowledge, engineering experience and an innovative mindset will be central to its development.

To support this systematic task of talent development, the Shanghai Engineering Research Center for Hydrogen Energy Utilization, Shanghai Shangzi Talent Services Co., Ltd., and Shandong Hydrogen Valley New Energy Technology Research Institute are jointly organizing the third training program. The course focuses on difficult fuel cell technologies and practical applications, helping develop international industry leaders and advance the hydrogen sector.
