KNOWLEDGE NETWORK ON GREEN HYDROGEN: SUSTAINABLE TEACHING INFRASTRUCTURES AND VIRTUAL PLATFORM.

Project description

The objective of this project is to create a knowledge network on green hydrogen technology, with a view to sharing information, providing training, conducting research and kindling public interest.

To do so, use will be made of the innovative TELKI Green Hydrogen Lab at the Santurtzi Vocational Training (VT) Centre, as well as the new facilities to be set up at the Simón de Colonia VT Centre in Burgos, modelled on the TELKI experience.

The TELKI Green Hydrogen Lab, a pioneering facility in the field of vocational training in Spain, was set up at the Santurtzi VT Centre in February 2023. The lab is designed for teaching purposes and makes it possible to manage electricity obtained from two sources: solar PV, with a bifacial solar tracker and a charging canopy for electric vehicles, and wind, generating hydrogen with zero pollutant emissions, which is stored in various metal hydride bottles and enables the cycle to be closed by means of an electrolyser that transforms it back into electricity, which in turn can power other loads. This facility currently supplies power to a 5G telephone station at the Santurtzi VT Centre itself.

In addition, and as a cornerstone for knowledge transfer, an educational platform will be developed with teaching units, practical exercises and all the educational material produced in the project. This will enable the green hydrogen infrastructure of the training centres to be put to good use and the experience to be systematically transferred to the classroom.
